Napoli hosts Parma in round 16 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, December 14th at Stadio San Paolo (Naples)
Napoli finally managed to break its nine-match (!!!) winless streak by beating Belgian Genk (4-0) in the home field on Tuesday. Truth be told, despite this result and reaching the Champions League playoffs, Carlo Ancelotti was fired from the post of head coach of the Parthenopeans. It happened due to the very bad results of the team in the national championship, but it’s more on the conscience of Aurelio De Laurentis, who closed his players at the club base, hired people to burst into the house of Lorenzo Insigne and did other strange things.

Parma is the pursuer of Napoli in the standings, settling in eighth place and having the same number of points as the Parthenopeans have (21 each). The Crusaders have not been so close to European Cups for a long time. Roberto D'Aversa’s men are seven points behind the nearest sixth European Cup position. Parma is the tenth in Serie A in terms of away games: two wins, three draws, and two losses.
Given the recent results of Napoli, as well as what is happening inside the team, I would not risk betting on them. It is hard to say what the reaction of the players will be to Ancelotti's resignation. But Parma is pretty good not only this season but also in recent matches. I think that the Crusaders have everything to impose a serious struggle on the Parthenopeans. After a look at the line, I immediately liked the option with a +2 handicap of Parma. Of course, the coefficient is not the highest, but it is confident, as for me.
Prediction for the match: Parma to win with +2.0 handicap
