Let’s check the latest picks, Serie A news, stats and Serie A expert picks for Napoli vs Lazio. We’ve plenty of Serie A predictions for you to consider.
Lazio have kept things close on the road this season, conceding just seven league goals away from the Stadio Maradona, a record matched only by Napoli. Yet, their most recent opponents are not only unbeaten at home in Serie A, but also score over three goals per game there on average. The scale of the task facing Maurizio Sarri as he gets ready to visit his old team is fairly obvious, but his current squad is still very much on track to play in the Champions League next season.
Ciro Immobile’s lack of form and health up front has been partially offset by Sarri’s club, who are second only to Juventus in Serie A this season for clean sheets kept. They may feel that they are the only team capable of stopping the league leaders for 90 minutes. Naturally, Juve had similar thoughts before being humiliated 5-1 at Naples just after the holiday break.
