Hellas Verona kept alive their slim hopes of safety last weekend with a massive victory. However, they will face one of the most daunting challenges in Europe this weekend, as they travel to the champions in waiting, Napoli.
Serie A Preview
Napoli can take another step toward the Serie A title this weekend, as they could move 19 points clear of the chasing pack. The Italian giants have been excellent throughout the season, but there has been evidence to suggest that their performances are faltering in recent matches. Napoli come into this game after losing two of their last five in Serie A, while they were also beaten in the Champions League by AC Milan in midweek.
However, nothing can take away how special their performances have been this season, as they have picked up their highest points tally at this stage of the season in their history. But, they will be looking to get back on track this weekend after losing two of their last three at home. They hadn’t lost that many games in their previous 20 games at home.
Hellas Verona remains in the fight to stay in the division at this stage of the season, but they will be relying on favours from elsewhere to improve their position. They currently sit 18th in the standings, but are four points from safety. They at least managed to record a victory last weekend, which keeps their slim hopes alive.
Verona were 2-1 winners against Sassuolo last weekend, but they haven’t recorded back-to-back victories in Serie A since January 2022. But, the confidence from their late comeback success last weekend could give them enormous hope coming into this daunting showdown.
Napoli vs Hellas Verona Head to Head
This will be the 60th showdown between these sides in Serie A history. Napoli has recorded 32 wins, while Verona has picked up 13 victories previously. However, Verona has only recorded two previous wins in Naples in Serie A history, with the most recent of those coming in January 1983.
Napoli vs Hellas Verona Prediction
Napoli’s recent setbacks would be a slight concern coming into this showdown. However, we expect to see a strong response from the team from Naples this weekend, as they gear up for a huge second leg in the Champions League against Milan next week at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
