Napoli take on the visitors Lazio in the round 3 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, September 2nd at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Napoli begins the defense of their unexpected Scudetto. The Partenopei achieved a long-awaited triumph, winning the championship title for the first time since the era of the legendary Maradona. However, this joyous occasion in the spring was marred by various circumstances, including an open conflict between the fans and the owner, De Laurentiis, and the departure of Spalletti, who couldn't part ways amicably even in such circumstances, despite delivering the title. Moreover, their defensive stalwart, Koulibaly, was sold in the summer. However, they managed to retain other key players, including Osimhen. The new coach, Rudi Garcia, orchestrated a return to Italian football with convincing wins - 3-1 against Frosinone and 2-0 against Sassuolo.

Lazio clearly aimed for a better start. After Simone Inzaghi left them (he took on the task of maintaining the level of Inter after Antonio Conte's departure), they decided to place their bet on Maurizio Sarri, who had made a name for himself at Napoli but received mixed reviews at Chelsea and particularly at Juventus. His time in Turin was especially unpopular in the South. However, in the capital, he has done remarkably well, not only preventing Sky Blues from regressing but actually helping them progress. Last season, the Roman club even became the runner-up in the country. However, during the summer, Milinkovic-Savic left their squad, and the Serbian star became another scalp taken by Saudi Arabia. While there were no major losses, they did acquire some new faces. Nevertheless, Lazio's start has been a complete failure. Not only have they failed to earn any points in the two matches played, but they also lost to relatively weak teams, first to Lecce away (1-2) and then to Genoa, who had just returned to Serie A, at home.
Last spring, the Eagles managed to defeat Partenopei, and this victory took place in Naples. Prior to that, Spalletti's team had won four times in a row. Rudi Garcia's team has started decently, which cannot be said for their opponent, and the match will be held at the San Paolo. We recommend betting on Napoli winning this one.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win.
