Napoli take on the visitors Lazio in the round 23 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, February 3rd at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Napoli are having a phenomenal season, despite losing several star players before the start of the second year under coach Luciano Spalletti in southern Italy. However, with new signings like Kim and Khvicha, the team not only maintained a high level but even improved. There were some setbacks, such as being knocked out of the cup by underdogs Cremonese, but their 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League playoffs was a good rehabilitation. Napoli is on track to win the Scudetto, with no doubt about it, and it's just a matter of time before they do so. In the last round, they secured another solid victory, 2-0 against Empoli.

Lazio had to find a new coach in 2021 when Simone Inzaghi moved to Inter. Fortunately, they found a good replacement in experienced specialist Maurizio Sarri, who made progress with the team in his first year in the capital. Lazio are currently among the contenders for the 3-4th place in Serie A, which means a Champions League spot. They sacrificed the Europa League for this, and it seems they wouldn't want to play in the Conference League either. Lazio made it to the 1/16 of the CFP (Cluj) with just one goal from Immobile in 180 minutes, and were knocked out of the cup after a 0-1 defeat to Juventus. Lazio's lack of stability is evident, with recent draws against Fiorentina and Verona, and a 2-0 win over struggling Salernitana being their only recent triumph. They struggled against Sampdoria but managed to score a late goal through Luis Alberto to secure the victory.
At the moment, clearly Napoli are doing better in head-to-heads. In September, they won 2-1 on the road, and this is already the 4th victory in a row in head-to-head confrontations. The current team of Maurizio Sarri is clearly weaker than the previous one. We bet that the Parthenopei will be able to achieve another victory by beating the visitors from Rome.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win.
