Napoli
- Napoli have hit a run of form with three wins in a row in all competitions that started with a 2-0 home win over Bologna in the Super Cup and a 2-0 victory away at Cremonese in Serie A last weekend.
- This has kept them in third place in Serie A with 34 points from 16 games.
- Napoli are unbeaten at home in Serie A this season (W6, D1).
- Napoli have conceded six goals in seven home fixtures in Serie A this campaign.
Hellas Verona
- Verona are still in the relegation places with just 12 points from 16 Serie A fixtures and will need to improve if they are to escape the bottom three.
- Last time out, Verona were beaten 3-0 away at AC Milan.
- Hellas Verona have won just one of their last nine Serie A away matches (D3, L5).
Head-to-Head
Napoli have won the last three H2H meetings, including a 2-0 home success in the league last season.
Key Players
- Rasmus Hoejlund is in red-hot form for Napoli with four goals in five games in all competitions and the team’s leading Serie A scorer with six in 12.
-
Gift Orban is Verona’s most prolific forward with four Serie A goals in 13 games.
- He will be their main outlet if they are to get on the scoresheet.
Betting Insights
- Verona are 8.7 outsiders and Napoli are 1.46 to win.
- There is some value in the over 2.5 goals market at 2.14 as Verona are likely to have to leave space in behind when they are forced to push on.
- Backing Napoli to collect a third straight win seems the clear favourite at the current odds.
Prediction
Napoli to win and over 2.5 goals appears the most likely outcome given Napoli’s home form, recent H2H dominance and Verona’s need to push forward.
