Preliminary review and match prediction for Lazio vs Napoli
Lazio’s position on the Serie A table could well have been more than the sixth position had they not lost to low-ranked teams. In fact, Lazio’s away record against teams like Verona, Bologna, and Sassuolo is where the damage was done having lost to all three.
Moreover, the Biancoceleste didn’t fare well when playing the top four teams as well, losing four out of five encounters. Sarri’s team are on a five-match undefeated run however and lost just once in their last nine fixtures.
Playing at the Olimpico, Lazio have the least number of defeats among the Serie A clubs with just one. Nonetheless, four draws were like defeats themselves against Cagliari Empoli and Udinese, although they were very entertaining to watch.
Napoli missed the chance to go top of the standings on Monday after a hard-earned draw in Cagliari. In fact, the Blues were trailing by a goal until the 87th minute when Osimhen equalized.
In any case, the Scudetto race is wide open now between Napoli Inter and Milan with Juventus not far behind. As a result, boss Luciano Spaletti knows there are no margins for error as any loss of points will be hard to make up.
After a tough month between November and December of 2021, Napoli bounced back and now are undefeated in seven games. Moreover, the Blues’ away record is remarkable winning eight drawing four, and losing one.
Lazio vs Napoli Prediction
The bookies are offering very high odds for the winners of this game since the two teams are very equal in form. However, we see a slight advantage for Napoli and will back a double chance of a draw or away win since Spaletti’s men are eager to stay close to the top.
Safe Bet
Considering the levels of both teams are very close, we can as well back another double chance bet of a home win and draw. At Vbet this bet has odds of 1.58 and we think it will be safe to bet for this market.
Quick Rich
The last two games between Lazio and Napoli saw four and seven goals respectively. In addition, three of Lazio’s last five games saw three or more goals. Hence, we will go to the extreme and bet for over 3.5 goals which has odds of 3.25.
Lazio vs Napoli First Goalscorer
Ciro Immobile is one of Italy’s best scorers at the moment as he tops the scorer’s list with 21 goals. The Italian international is the favorite in every game to be the first goalscorer. We will back him to open the scoring account on Sunday.
