Football predictions Goran Pandev inspired Genoa for its first victory over Napoli in 2012

North Macedonian striker Goran Pandev scored two goals for the 2-1 victory over Napoli in a match of the 21st round of Serie A. Thus, the `griffins` achieved their first success over the Neapolitans since 2012. The success is the third in a row for Genoa, as the team climbs in the standings and is now 11th with 24 points. Napoli was fifth with 40. Pandev, on the other hand, had not scored two goals in one match since 2013. The Genoese forged their success in the first half, taking advantage of the mistakes of the guests. Pandev opened the scoring in the 11th minute after being brought into the penalty area and hitting the near post to make it 1-0. Napoli were looking for an equalizer, but Gennaro Gattuso`s team did not create a dangerous situation, despite many shots on goal by Matthias Perrin. That`s how it came to the 26th minute. Diego Deme lost the ball, which allowed Miha Zaitz to look for Pandev, who was left alone in the penalty area. The northern Macedonian took the ball, turned and doubled with an accurate shot. In the second half, Napoli pressed their opponent, but the Genoese defended well. In the 66th minute Lorenzo Insigne shot dangerously with his right foot, the ball bounced, but fell right into the hands of Matthias Perrin.


In the 70th minute, the goalkeeper of Genoa with a new brilliant performance deflected a shot by Diego Deme and kept the score. As the end of the match approached, the nerves began to take over the field. Tensions arose between Napoli striker Victor Osimen and a Genoa footballer, but they were quelled after a quick intervention by Nikola Maksimovic. In the 79th minute, Genoa`s defense still cracked after a mistake by debutant Manolo Portanova, which allowed Matteo Politano to score for 1:2.

However, that was all in this match and so Genoa continued with his amazing performance since the team was taken over by Davide Balardini at the end of last year. Under his leadership, the `griffins` have won 17 points in their last 8 matches predicted by football predictions and alreadythey don`t think about falling out, but about something more. The loss of Napoli will certainly raise the question of the fate of coach Gennaro Gattuso.
