Lazio vs Napoli Prediction

Napoli have enjoyed a better record in their recent outings against Maurizio Sarri's men, winning 11 of their last 16 meetings. Just four games have gone the hosts' way while just one game has ended in a draw. So a draw doesn't seem to be the likely outcome here.

Taking into account how the two sides have fared in their recent meetings, we might be in for an exciting game. The hosts have suffered just one loss at home this term so will have the upper hand and should come out on top in what is expected to be a high-scoring game.

Prediction: Lazio 3-2 Napoli
