Napoli vs Lazio Betting Analysis
Lazio face Napoli on Friday night over at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples as they look to continue a run that has put them firmly inside the top four after back-to-back wins against Salernitana and Sampdoria respectively.
Napoli for their part came off a tricky 2-0 victory over Empoli on Saturday, a team they’ve struggled to beat in the past, and now look almost certainties for the Scudetto this year with a current 18-point cushion at the top of the table.
Napoli have been dominant over Lazio in this venue across recent seasons, winning six straight games here, four of which came by multiple-goal margins as well, and haven’t lost at this venue against Lazio since all the way back to 2015.
Lazio Continue To Grind Out Results
While a lot of Serie A teams have abandoned the traditionally defensive nature of the league over recent years and have opted to go offensive instead, Atalanta, Sassuolo, and Napoli chief among them, that hasn’t been the case for this Lazio side who’ve arguably became even more defensive under manager Maurizio Sarri.
Lazio have managed to keep a clean sheet in an impressively high 20 of their 24 league first-halves this season, the highest frequency out of any team in Europe’s top five leagues.
Napoli Look Unstoppable
With a war on two fronts both domestically and in the Champions League this year, that often sets up situations where Napoli could potentially be opposed in games as they look to balance multiple competitions.
However, not only is there no European action this week, but Napoli have simply pushed aside those notions as well, not having lost a game since a loss against Inter back at the start of January, a game in which they had almost twice the number of attacks in as well.
Napoli vs Lazio Expert Prediction
Lazio have consistently shown their ability to grind out positive results in games this season, and we’re expecting another tight, defensive battle here on Friday also.
Sarri’s men have conceded just four goals all year inside the opening 45 minutes of games, and face a Napoli side in this one who have been almost equally as good in that regard, ranking 2nd just behind Lazio at just seven goals allowed.
The Under is set at 1 goal on the first half line on Friday and we believe that’s solid value as the way these two teams set-up, it’s unlikely we see two goals or more across the opening 45 minutes in this one.
Take the first half Under 1 goal on Friday in the Serie A matchup between Lazio and Napoli.
Prediction: 1H Under 1 +100
