The Grifone are a team transformed since Davide Ballardini returned to the bench, keeping four clean sheets in seven matches and averaging two points per game.

They also bolstered their ranks with Kevin Strootman in the January transfer window and kept hold of Gianluca Scamacca, but Goran Pandev partners Destro because Eldor Shomurodov is not fully fit.

Davide Biraschi and Cristian Zapata are also out of action.

Napoli have several problems this evening, as they are between Coppa Italia semi-finals against Atalanta with the first leg ending 0-0, while Dries Mertens is injured.

Kalidou Koulibaly and Faouzi Ghoulam were diagnosed with COVID-19 this week, although Fabian Ruiz recovered after almost three weeks.

Lorenzo Insigne has a knock to his calf, so is rested for Matteo Politano.

Genoa: Perin; Goldaniga, Radovanovic, Criscito; Zappacosta, Zajc, Badelj, Strootman, Czyborra; Destro, Pandev

Napoli: Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Manolas, Maksimovic, Mario Rui; Demme, Elmas; Politano, Zielinski, Lozano; Petagna
