Hellas Verona vs Napoli Preview

Hellas Verona

Verona approaches the start of the 2023/2024 Serie A campaign with a new head coach. Following Marco Baroni’s arrival in Lazio, Paolo Zanetti was appointed manager. The Italian ex-footballer recently coached Venezia and Empoli.

Verona’s previous season was mediocre, as they finished 13th in the table. They will likely fight for survival this season, considering that their main goalscorer, Tijjani Noslin, left for Lazio. Additionally, Colombian left back Juan Cabal also moved to Juventus. However, they have permanently signed Jackson Tchatchoua and Suat Serdar after their loans expired. 

During the pre-season, I Gialloblu played five friendlies, winning three, drawing and losing one respectively. Overall, their style has not changed drastically, focusing ultimately on the defence and building the flow on counterattacks. 

Napoli

Following their triumph in the 2022/2023 season, Napoli were a far cry from what they had demonstrated a year earlier. Surprisingly, they finished 10th in the table, failing to qualify for European competitions. Rudi Garcia, Walter Mazzari and Francesco Calcona showcased poor results and prior to the new campaign, Antonio Conte became the new head coach.

Conte has plenty of experience working in Italy, previously managing Inter and Juventus. He prefers a 3-5-2 strategy, with wing-backs being the major assets in his formation. 

During the summer transfer window, Napoli mainly signed defenders: Alessandro Buongiorno, Rafa Marin, and Leonardo Spinazzola. Piotr Zielinski left for free, and Victor Osimhen is on the radars of top European clubs. 

Partenopei survived a scare against Modean in Coppa Italia, playing against minnows Modena. They beat the opponents on penalties 5-3, but their playing style received a lot of criticism.

Hellas Verona vs Napoli Prediction

  • Pick: Verona or Draw
  • Odds: 1.83 (22Bet)
  • Score prediction: Hellas Verona 1-1 Napoli

Napoli is still restructuring, and Antonio Conte has plenty of tasks to organize in the squad. With Osimhen’s likely departure, Romelu Lukaku is reported to take his place. While they won four out of five friendly matches during the pre-season, their opponents were significantly weaker.

Verona may not have made high-profile signings, but they are always resilient on their home pitch. Moreover, they will be determined to deliver the best results in the first round.

We don’t anticipate Verona to attack hastily from the first minute. Instead, they will maintain the tempo and wait for their chances. The defense looked good in friendly matches, and they will at least have the chance to clinch a draw against Napoli.

Hellas Verona vs Napoli Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Both Teams to Score
  • Odds: 1.75 (22Bet)

Matches between Verona and Napoli always turn out to be entertaining. To provide statistics, seven of the previous eight H2H games ended with both teams scoring. The last match was exceptional: Napoli came back from a 0-1 deficit and won thanks to a screamer from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Verona sold their top goalscorer Tijjani Noslin, but Napoli’s defence are still in the process of formation. I think they will capitalize on their chances and score at least once against Partenopei.

‘Kvara’, on the other hand, will be the main force in the attack. Against Modena, the real dangers came from his wing, and the same is likely to happen in Verona. Therefore, our Hellas Verona vs Napoli prediction suggests picking both teams to score in the following fixture.
