3rd March 2023 – 20:45, Diego Armando Maradona, Naples
Napoli will host Lazio in the opening match of the Serie A 25th round. The home side wants to remain comfortable on the top of the table, while the visitors seek the Champions League ticket at the end of the campaign.
Napoli Preview & Team News
Napoli will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 2-0 Serie A success against Empoli. They are marching toward the title since they have an 18-point advantage over Inter. The hosts have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, finding the back of the net in every one of their last six games. They have hit an aggregate of 14 during that time while also conceding a total of 1. There is just the sole fitness concern for the Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti to be concerned with from a near full-strength squad. Giacomo Raspadori (Hamstring Injury) is out of contention. Mário Rui cannot play in this game through suspension.
Lazio Preview & Team News
Lazio will go into this match after a 1-0 Serie A win against Sampdoria in their most recent fixture. That victory launched them to the top-four zone and one point ahead of their fierce rivals, Roma. A sequence of very capable performances from the Lazio defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 3 from their last six outings in total. During the same time, their forwards have managed to score 5. Thanks to a mainly available group, there’s just one fitness problem for the Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri to contend with. Pedro (Fractured Hand) won’t be in action. Nicolò Casale will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Napoli has been very convincing lately, and they failed to win at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona just once this season. We believe they will continue the winning run and beat Lazio on Friday evening.
Goals Market Prediction
Only two of their last nine encounters in Naples didn’t produce three or more goals. We expect another efficient clash, and these two sides should push this match over a 2.5 margin.
