Napoli vs Lazio
Italy – Serie A
Date: Sunday, 28 November 2021
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Lazio did not have much luck in the recent visits to Naples. If we take a look at their dismal record on travels in this term of the Serie A as well, we can hardly look past the home win pick at the odds of 1.80.
Napoli suffered their maiden Serie A loss of the season last weekend when they fell 3-2 away at reigning champions Inter Milan.
They are still joint-leaders with AC Milan following Fiorentina’s 4-3 victory over I Rossoneri on the same Matchday.
Nevertheless, I Partinopei are looking ahead of another tough challenge in Gamewek No 14 as Lazio come to visit Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in the last fixture of the day.
Lazio were also unsuccessful last time out as they fell 0-2 at home to Juventus. Maurizio Sarri’s men registered only one shot on target on the occasion.
They are up against the best defense in the league here and we have enough reasons to doubt in Lazio’s chances of getting a result here.
Nonetheless, the visitors should come into this tie in somewhat higher spirits following their mid-week’s UEFA Europa League success.
I Biancocelesti saw off Lokomotiv Moscow 0-3 on the road on Thursday evening to secure qualification to the knockout phase of the continental competition.
Napoli, on the other hand, significantly complicated their situation in the same continental tournament, falling 2-1 at Spartak Moscow on Wednesday.
Napoli’s defeat in Russia leaves things wide open ahead of the final day fixtures. Do we need to be worried about Luciano Spalletti’s defense, though?
