Lazio vs Napoli Analysis
Sixth-place Lazio take on third-place Napoli on Sunday with both teams coming off disappointing Europa League exits in midweek.
Lazio came up short over two legs against Porto while Napoli, after initially doing well in Spain, suffered a lopsided 4-2 loss at home against Barcelona.
Napoli ran out easy 4-0 winners in the reverse fixture against Lazio back in November.
Lazio’s Stadio Olimpico Fortress
Despite getting off to a less than ideal start to their Serie A campaign this season, Lazio have now gone five games unbeaten in the league, their longest run of the season so far, and will look to continue that run here in a venue they’ve traditionally been very strong in.
Lazio have won just two of their last ten meetings against Napoli, but those two wins did come at home for the ‘Biancocelesti’ and Lazio have lost just one of their last 25 Serie A home games inside this venue as well.
Napoli’s Chance To Go Top
Both Inter and AC Milan slipped up on Friday night in league action, drawing against Genoa and Udinese respectively, so if Napoli can get the win tonight, they’ll go to the top of the Serie A table.
However, they’ve been given this opportunity before, most notably on Monday night where they suffered a poor 1-1 draw against 17th placed Cagliari and the ‘Gli Azzurri’ have now drawn two games in succession heading into Sunday’s clash.
Lazio vs Napoli Prediction
Napoli has a fantastic head-to-head record against Lazio over recent seasons, but they’ve started to look a lot more vulnerable of late.
The visitors have dropped points in four of their last seven road games overall, and that despite three of those four seeing Napoli score first in those games as well.
While Lazio did have a rough start to the season, they’re beginning to turn things around and look a lot more composed of late, losing just one game at home all season, and this is a rivalry Serie A’s top scorer Ciro Immobile has risen to over recent seasons, netting Lazio’s opening goal in six of the last seven times he’s faced off against Napoli.
We’re keeping Lazio onside here and taking them on the +0.25 Asian handicap line at home to get a result against Napoli over in Serie A on Sunday.
