Steffen Schmidt - March 1, 2023
Napoli vs Lazio
Italian Serie A
Date: 3 March 2023, Friday
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Napoli host Lazio in the first game of Matchday No 25 in Italian Serie A on Friday evening at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
The hosts will be looking to maintain their tremendous winning streak in search of their eighth victory on the spin across competitions.
I Partinopei are enjoying a dream run in this term of Serie A. They have all but claimed the first Scudetto since 1990, being as many as 18 points clear at the top of the standings.
Luciano Spalletti’s troops have won 21 of 24 league games so far in the season. They have 10 wins and 1 draw in 11 league outings on the home patch.
Napoli have kept their net untouched in each of the previous five matches across competitions. The run includes three successive 2-0 wins over Sassuolo, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Empoli.
The hosts are massive favorites here as well against Lazio although the visitors will enter the match in high spirits as well following a thread of three victories and a draw in the last four games across competitions.
Lazio are fourth in the league ladder at the moment and their head coach Maurizio Sarri can be satisfied with the performances his men have shown in defense in particular in the last several weeks.
Napoli have been extremely tough to break down of late and we like their chances of the sixth straight clean sheet here. You can back the hosts to win to nil at the odds of 2.62.
Lazio did not shine offensively of late despite their winning thread. We thus expect a low-scoring game which makes the 2-0 correct score a great betting option at the odds of 7.50.
