Napoli take on the visitors Verona in the round 30 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, April 15th at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Napoli are currently perhaps more absorbed by the Champions League than anything else. Although they also have an Italian confrontation there, as the fight for the semifinals in this European Cup is being waged against a well-known opponent, Milan. They have already traveled to the San Siro and lost there again, albeit minimally and therefore with chances for ultimate success. But everything will be decided in the return match at the San Paolo, and most likely Luciano Spalletti and his coaching staff are more absorbed in preparing specifically for this. So, do not be surprised if on Saturday, even on their home field, they release the most experimental lineup, saving their leaders from fatigue and injury. After all, the only tournament risk is that they will have to make the fans wait for the scudetto for a week longer. Although perhaps a bare minimum of class will be enough. After all, in the previous round, the Neapolitans were able to win 2-1 away against Lecce without their key striker Victor Osimhen, who was injured.

Under Ivan Juric, Verona showed the level of a strong mid-tier team in Serie A. Juric left in 2021, and this immediately had a negative impact, however, the team managed to finish last season well thanks to timely coaching changes and a successful bet on Tudor. In this cycle, Hellas tried to repeat the same scenario. Igor, who left for Marseille last summer, was unsuccessfully replaced, and after a disappointing start, Bocchetti arrived. Salvatore had some individual successes, but there is less and less belief that he can become the savior. Yes, there was a promising period in January-February, with only 1 defeat in 7 matches and even a couple of victories, when it was possible to sharply reduce the gap from more successful neighbors. But those successes could not be developed. On the contrary, there were only draws with Spezia and Monza, with defeats not only to Roma and Fiorentina, but also to other outsiders, such as Sampdoria. April started with a decent but still losing game to Juventus, 0-1. But against Sassuolo, despite losing most of the match, they managed to score a determined 2-1 victory.
The Mastiffs have only won twice against Partenopei throughout the beginning of this century. Moreover, in 2022, Luciano Spalletti's team won both matches, both times playing away. The Mastiffs have certainly improved, but unlikely to the extent of troubling the leader on their home ground. We recommend betting that Khvicha and company will be able to win with a -1 goal difference handicap.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with -1.0 handicap.
