The 32nd round of matches in Serie A will conclude on Thursday with a top game as Napoli hosts Lazio in Naples. These two are among the teams in top form in the league and only two points separate them, with both gunning for Champions League places. Hosts Napoli are on 60 points in fifth place while Lazio are sixth with 58 points. Napoli missed a huge chance to break into the top four in their last match, after leading against Inter but ending it 1-1, while Juventus lost at Atalanta. They are now two points below fourth placed Juventus and they will be hoping for a better result here. Napoli have done well in attack, scoring in each of their last five league matches, winning three and keeping one clean sheet. In their last 10 in the league, they’ve scored two or more goals in seven and have scored in each of their last 19 league matches. At home, Napoli are unbeaten in the last seven league games; the draw with Juventus was the only time they failed to win in that run. In the 15 league matches there this season, they have 10 wins.

No team at the moment in Serie A has a better form than Lazio and Atalanta. The two have collected 15 points from their last five league matches, and here Lazio will head very confident. While they’ve been in good form, Lazio still need to sort their defence. In their last match, they beat Benevento 5-3, and in the top six, they are the team with the poorest defence, having conceded 41. They’ve also scored the least (51) in the top six but will head to this game with good hope, as key man Ciro Immobile is back on the score sheet, having managed two goals in the rout of Benevento. Before that, the striker had gone eight games without a goal. In the last five league matches Lazio have scored 12 goals but conceded six and after earlier losing three straight away matches, they head here with two straight wins in away league matches. They haven’t scored more than a goal in their last five away league matches but they have eight wins in the 15 away league matches this season.
