A win here is needed to cement Napoli’s second position
It took a lot of character from Napoli to bounce back from two back-to-back defeats and beat Milan in San Siro. In fact, the Azzurri not only took over Milan’s second position but also stayed intact with leaders Inter. Moreover, Napoli proved they have the strongest defense in Serie A as they kept their tenth clean sheet this campaign.
However, Napoli’s last three matches at home didn’t go as planned and they grabbed just one point out of nine. Therefore, Spaletti must learn from the mistakes that were made in those matches. Indeed, Napoli’s main problem was giving away too many easy goals as they did six times in their last four matches. Hence, the once solid defense needs to be present again in this match after it was in San Siro.
Spezia in an almost impossible task
Although Spezia are three points above the relegation zone, they are surely not safe and need points to be secure. Hence, the Little Eagles travel to Napoli and play for at least a point. Given the fact that only four of their 13 points came in their away matches, Spezia have the second-worst away record in Serie A.
Spezia’s form and level are proof that the Little Wings need to improve in all aspects of their game. To point out, defensively Spezia conceded on average three goals per game in their away games and have no clean sheets all season. Also scoring under one goal per game in their road trips hasn’t helped Spezia’s quest in challenging for top positions.
Napoli vs Spezia Prediction
This is a match in which Napoli would like to consider it to be easy three points. And for that, the bookies are favoring them to win and paying 1.26. Surely Spaletti will use this match to enhance his team’s already grown confidence after the Milan.
In order to do that, Napoli’s pressing needs to be at its highest possible intensity. That as something that was missing in recent games. In addition, the Blues attackers must be very effective in front of the goal as they missed too many chances lately.
Moreover, the bookies expect over 2.5 goals by Napoli alone in this match paying 1.91. That is a big possibility since in nine wins this season Napoli scored two or more goals.
Looking at the four h2h meetings, over 2.5 goals were scored in all four. Hence for our prediction, we will back over 2.5 goals combined with a double chance outcome. And for our second, we will back both teams not to score in this match.
