Napoli vs Lazio: Preview, Free tip & Prediction
27.11.2021 14:00
The highlight of the 14th round of Serie A will be the battle between Napoli and Lazio Roma on Sunday evening. The hosts continue to lead the table, but lost their league unbeaten run in the last round.
Basic information, news and team form
Twelve games in a row, that's how long Napoli have been unbeaten in Serie A this season. Inter Milan managed to change that, beating the table leaders 3-2 at home a week ago. For SSC it was already a second poor result in a row, as the round before that they only drew 1-1 at home against Verona. Napoli still hold the first place in the table though, as second-placed AC Milan have also won only one point in the last two rounds and remain behind on goal difference. In any case, the Partenopei need to win the match against Lazio, as their current form is not ideal. In addition to the league losses, Napoli have also faltered in the Europa League, where they sensationally lost 1-2 to Spartak Moscow on Wednesday. This made the fight for qualification much more difficult.
Lazio also had a big league game on the schedule last weekend, with Juventus coming to Rome. The home team could have been confident against the stumbling giant, but it was not visible on the pitch and Lazio lost 0:2 due to two penalties. In the table this meant a drop to 6th place, with Fiorentina and Juventus only behind on goal difference. Like Napoli, Lazio also played in the Europa League in Moscow this week. However, the Biancocelesti's opponent was Lokomotiv, and the result was much better for the Italian side this time: Lazio won smoothly 3-0 and secured early promotion to the spring phase of the competition.
Betdoin's view of the match
Although the home team will go into the game as favourites, it will not be an easy match against Lazio. The visiting attack should test the Napoli defence thoroughly, but the question is how Sarri's often shaky backline will handle the match. Betdoin's algorithm predicts a narrow win for the home side, but the system found more betting value in the corner kicks market. One of the selected picks is under 5.5 Napoli corners.
Absentees and estimated line-ups
Napoli lost Osimhen and Anguissa to injury against Inter, so both players will not be available on Sunday. Ounas, Malcuit and Politano will not help the home team either, while Ruiz and Insigne are uncertain to start. Lazio have very few problems in the squad, only defender Marusic will not play.
Napoli - estimated line-up:
Ospina - Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Koulibaly, Rui - Ruiz, Demme - Lozano, Zielinski, Elmas - Petagna
Lazio - estimated line-up:
Reina - Lazzari, Felipe, Acerbi, Hysaj - Milinkovic-Savic, Cataldi, Alberto - Anderson, Immobile, Pedro
