Napoli vs Lazio Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 28/02/2023, 18:00  by Steve Ashfield in Serie A Prediction

Napoli can go 21 points clear at the top of Serie A with a win over fourth placed Lazio. The league leaders are going strong in both Serie A and the Champions League this season. They come into this match having won their last seven league and cup fixtures with no goals conceded in the last five. In Serie A, they have won all eight games played since the 1-0 loss at Inter when the season resumed in January. That's their only league defeat this season with 21 out of 24 matches being won. Home form has seen them win all bar one of their 11 league games. Only Lecce have come away from Napoli this season with a league point. That was achieved on the last day of August and since then Napoli have won nine successive home league matches. The last eight have seen them score at least twice. Their last five home league games against Lazio have all been won with 18 goals scored.

Lazio are also going well in Europe and in Serie A. Their 1-0 home win over Sampdoria on Monday took them into fourth place and a win at Napoli will see them climb to second. They are unbeaten in their last four league and cup games. Before the win over Sampdoria, they were held to a goalless draw in the Europa Conference League but went through to the last 16 via a 2-1 aggregate score. Away form hasn't been too strong in recent months with only two league wins in the last five. Those wins both came against sides currently in the seven. Four away European games this season have only produced two draws and a couple of losses. Back Napoli to get a win here.
