Napoli take on the visitors Lecce in the round 4 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 31st at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Napoli last season played under the leadership of Luciano Spalletti. An experienced mentor is known for the fact that almost everywhere the club added to him, showing better results than before. This happened in Naples, moreover, the “Partenopeia” gave out a powerful series of victories at the start. Still, the team was not enough for the full season, both Milan and Inter turned out to be stronger. But 3rd place was a breakthrough compared to what was shown in Calcio under Ancelotti and Gattuso. In the summer they lost, for various reasons, Insigne with Mertens and Ospina with Koulibaly. But the management had a good transfer campaign. And Kvaratskhelia made his debut especially brightly. Khvicha started with a goal and an assist in a 5-2 victory over Verona. And then, at his own expense, the Georgians recorded a double when Napoli won 4-0 against Monza. They didn't concede with Fiorentina either. But this time everything ended in a goalless draw.

Lecce recently tried to gain a foothold in Serie A. But then, in 2019/2020, everything was limited to only one season at this level. The "yellow-reds" this spring won the 1st place in Serie B. Realizing that the team's potential is still not enough for a new level, they diligently fueled the roster with newcomers all summer. Umtiti also moved here. However, the wards of Marco Baroni failed at the start of the new season. Nothing happened even in the cup - at home in extra time they lost to Cittadella. It was not possible to cling to points in the starting rounds of Serie A either. First, Inter pulled out a victory on the newcomer's field - Dumfries scored in the 95th minute, sealing 2-1 win. And with Sassuolo, Berardi scored the only goal. And only with "Empoli" it turned out to take at least a point. Parisi in the middle of the 1st half took the visitors ahead, but even before the break it turned out to draw the final 1-1.
Lecce in the 2019/2020 season flew out, but at the same time defeated the grand, and on the road, 3-2. But before that, all 3 matches were won by Napoli. Bookmakers have no doubt that Napoli will be able to beat the Serie A newcomer in their arena. But the question is how confidently everything will be framed. We recommend betting on the handicap "-1.5 goals" on the home team.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with -1.5 handicap.
