Napoli and Palermo will be switching to cup action this Thursday when they face off in the Coppa Italia. As Palermo seek to find consistency, Napoli will be keen on extending their dominance in this fixture. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Napoli have improved in recent outings and will be looking to build on their four-match unbeaten run. Antonio Conte’s men have three wins in those four matches.
In their most recent game, they drew 0-0 with Juventus, keeping a third clean sheet in four matches. It has been seven years since Napoli last met Palermo but Napoli will still be the favorites.
Back then they drew 1-1 with Napoli going unbeaten in four straight games against Palermo. Three of those four matches were wins and Napoli come here unbeaten in three home matches.
Palermo aren’t enjoying a very solid season in Serie B. They’ve already dropped 10 points from their six matches so far. They might look at their recent form with a level of optimism, coming into this game unbeaten in four matches.
The most recent of those was a 0-0 draw with Cesena, marking the third time this season that they failed to score. They have two wins and as many clean sheets in their last six matches.
In that run, they’ll need a lot of improvement to take on Napoli. It will not be the first time in this competition that Cesena face a side from Serie A. In the opening round, they beat Parma 1-0 away from home and they will be gunning for the same here too.

Our Napoli vs Palermo Prediction
Palermo will come into this game seeking to stop Napoli’s dominant run against them while they target advancing to the next stage of the competition. Having already eliminated a Serie A team, Palermo will feel confident about this match.
However, facing this resurgent Napoli side will not make for an easy outing. Napoli have won three times in their last four matches and also have clean sheets in three of four matches. Our prediction for Napoli v Palermo is for Napoli to win without conceding.
