Napoli vs Lazio Prediction & Betting tips
A wonderful match on Thursday evening: number five Napoli will be visited by number six Lazio, which is two points behind the azzurri but has also played one game less.
SSC Naples:
Napoli plays a top match for the second time in four days. Last Sunday evening, leader Inter came to visit Naples and Napoli received the first goal as a gift. A harmless cross from Lorenzo Insigne was worked into an own goal by goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, who collided with Stefan de Vrij. Against reigning champion Juventus, Napoli only needed one moment to pull off a victory, against the likely upcoming national champion Inter. The revived midfielder made it 1-1 with a shot from edge sixteen.
Napoli has had a tough series with matches against Sassuolo, AC Milan, AS Roma, Juventus, Inter and now Lazio within fifty days. As a result, the Neapolitans have a favorable end to the competition, Gennaro Gattuso’s team still plays against number nine Verona and only has to play against teams from the right-hand row.
Lazio:
Last weekend, another duel between the Inzaghi brothers was scheduled. Unfortunately, Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi had to be absent due to a positive result on a corona test. At times it seemed as if it was the last round of play and both teams had already achieved their goal. Lazio coached by Massimiliano Farris, however, is still fully participating for a ticket to the Champions League, the Benevento of Filippo Inzaghi is only one place above the relegation line.
Lazio won the playground. Within 36 minutes the match seemed decided and Lazio was already 3-0 partly due to a goal from Ciro Immobile. At a 4-1 score, Lazio’s top scorer was allowed to take a penalty as Lazio deemed the loot already in (the first penalty of the match was hit by Joaquin Correa) and Immobile missed it. This could have been an expensive mistake as Benevento came back to 4-3 and also saw a goal disallowed for offside. In the sixth minute of injury time it was Immobile who gave this crazy match a fitting finish with 5-3.
