Napoli welcome the visitors Lazio in the Italian Serie A – Round 20. The match will be held on Sunday, January 20th, at the Stadio San Paolo (Naples).
The first Napoli’s match in this year was held on their turf within the cup competition, and the hosts expectedly gained an assertive win over Sassuolo, 2:0, there. The Naples outfit featured a successful first term, and now they confidently take the 2nd place in the table. Obviously, the teams like Napoli normally claim the highest tiers, but the toppers Juventus are out of reach. The 2nd line cannot be lost though; moreover, Napoli’s breakaway from their main rival Internazionale is only 5 points. Thus, Carlo Ancelotti’s men will play their best since the very first matches.

In the last first-term rounds, the visiting Lazio managed to break their no-win streak and occupied the 4th line in the standings in the end. The Romans’ position is still unstable, as Milan are just a point behind (either side want to get to the Champions League placings). Therefore, Simone Inzaghi’s team will look to win only and will hardly play defensive football tomorrow.
The Italian Serie A winter break has finally finished, and the fans will now enjoy the clash of the two league toppers, Napoli and Lazio. Both opponents demonstrate attacking play, both boast great performers. Lazio strive to win, as they need to take points as of the first matches to distance from Milan. Napoli cannot afford dropping points, not to let Inter catch up with them. None of the side will shut out (Lazio will be aggressive, despite their travel). A draw is unlikely; goals must be flowing.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win or Lazio to win + Over 2.5 goals – Yes.
