Lazio vs Napoli Prediction & Betting tips
The roles in Italy appear to have been reversed this year. Last year, Napoli finished second and Lazio eighth in the Serie A, currently his eighth and third respectively. Last year Lazio lost both mutual encounters with 2-1, is that better this year?
Lazio:
Lazio has done virtually no major transfers last summer, yet there seems to be a completely different team than last season. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Luis Alberto have recovered their top form from two years ago and give assists to the assembly line, mainly on top scorer Ciro Immobile. In the own Stadio Olimpico the team of Simone Inzaghi is unbeatable, there was won six times so far and only played against AS Roma and Atalanta.
The Romans also achieved good results in the past month outside their own stadium. The competition for the Super Coppa in Saudi Arabia was won 3-1, it was the second time in two weeks that the Biancocelesti of Juventus managed to win. In the competition, the injury time was won twice in a row. Out at Cagliari, Lazio was 1-0 up to the 90th minute, thanks to late goals from Alberto and Felipe Caicedo, they still stole the full three points. Last weekend, Ballotelli made the first hit in the Serie A of the decade on behalf of Brescia, something he already did in the year 2010. After Brescia was placed with ten men, Lazio still won thanks to two hits from Immobile.
Napoli:
Napoli will also have a hard time catching up with the top six in the new year. After the crisis under Carlo Ancelotti, it will also be difficult for his replacement Gennaro Gattuso to get this team up and running. After the first game was lost to Parma under his leadership, just before the winter break there was finally good news, the Azzuri stole a win against Sassuolo in injury time.
Napoli immediately started the new year with a squatter in his own home against leader Inter. After half an hour of play the team from Naples were already looking at a 0-2 deficit, both times a quick counter of Inter abyss by Romelu Lukaku. The second goal can be blamed mainly on Napoli goalkeeper Meret, who fired a shot that came straight at him through his own legs into the goal. This season Arkadiusz Milik is one of the few who managed to avoid the slump, the Pole managed to make the connection goal just in time. Although almost all chances in the second half were for the Partenopei, Inter managed to extend the score, Lautaro Martinez’s 1-3 was the final blow for Napoli.
