Our prediction for the match Lazio vs Napoli
Both clubs, taking into account the successes of 2022/2023, when they finished as a pair of leaders, failed last season. “The Eagles”, who had been the vice-champion of the country, became only seventh, just a goal ahead of Fiorentina, with considerable problems. As for “the Parthenopeans”, they, after the Scudetto 2023, fell as much as tenth in the final position.
Baroni was invited to Rome. The specialist and his wards play in the Europa League. The team, although the reserves are used, does well. The club failed to win only in the struggle with Ludogorets in the previous round – 0-0. As for the Serie A, the team managed to reach almost maximum “speed” after an unconvincing start. Still, there was a misfire here too: Parma won the game at the weekend – 3-1.
Naples became Conte’s new place of work. At the same time, Osimhen left the club in the summer. However, Khvicha remains in the team and interesting newcomers have been signed. For instance, one can mention McTominay and Lukaku, who is Antonio’s favourite. The new coach started in the Serie A with a crushing defeat, but the team managed to become the leaders of the draw by mid-autumn. There was not the best stretch in November: a 0-3 result in the confrontation with Atalanta and a 1-1 draw in the meeting with Inter. Nevertheless, the club coped with Roma, albeit minimally, and then repeated the 1-0 score in the battle against Torino.
“The Southerners” play pragmatically. They don’t score that much, almost 1.6 goals, but they are good in defence – the team concedes less than 0.8 goals. The club from the capital is much brighter: it scores more than 2 goals and concedes more than 1 goal per game.

The hosts are given a slight advantage. Still, this is a battle of giants, who are usually boring in Italy. As a result, we are waiting for “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.69).
