After a slight decline in December, Napoli have regained their impressive form. Antonio Conte’s team are approaching the upcoming match with four victories in a row. In the previous round, they convincingly beat Fiorentina 0-3. The streak allowed them to return to first place with 44 points in 19 rounds.
As with any team Conte has managed, Napoli’s trademark has been fast attacks, reliable defence, and discipline.
In the attack, the main emphasis is placed on Georgian Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Romelu Lukaku. In total, 20 goals out of 30 were scored with this pair’s direct participation.
Napoli have some worries ahead of the clash. Alessandro Buongiorno, Matteo Politano and Kvaratskhelia will not feature. However, David Neres has been excellent, scoring a fantastic individual goal against Fiorentina and will likely start.
Verona are only two points ahead of Cagliari, who are in the relegation zone. However, recently, everything has been going better for Paolo Zanetti’s men. In four rounds of Serie A, the team have won two games and suffered only one defeat.
Hellas have faced stronger teams. They beat Bologna and Parma 3-2. While they currently sit 15th, the battle for survival is ongoing, and it will take a lot of effort to secure a place in Serie A.
It’s worth noting that Verona perform well in attack, but their defensive line leaves much to be desired. 42 conceded goals are the most in the championship. In addition, the current series of 2 matches without defeat is the club’s best streak this season.
Suat Serdar was sent off against Udinese and will not feature. Also, Abdou Harroui and Martin Frese are out due to knee injuries.
Bet hereNapoli have demonstrated a clear advantage in home matches. In their previous games in Serie A, they conceded only four times against Atalanta and Lazio. In general, the team rarely concede from low-tier opponents.
Verona are vulnerable in defence and will struggle in attack against Conte’s centre-backs. The hosts are involved in the championship battle and will focus on containing Hellas to the maximum extent.
Napoli are consistent in home matches, and in this fixture, we don’t expect their rivals to put up resilience against them.
Our first pick in the game would be for both teams not to score.
Napoli have a strong defence, conceding only 12 goals, which is the lowest figure in Serie A. Antonio’s men will probably focus on controlling the ball and minimising potential risks.
While Verona can sting on counterattacks, they have frailties in the back. This may force them to play more cautiously and concentrate on protecting their goal. It seems unlikely that they’ll open a game against Napoli.
In the previous H2H match, Hellas grabbed a crushing victory over the hosts, but we expect a completely different scenario now. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s absence is also noteworthy, and a low-scoring affair is likely.
Our second pick would be under 2.5 goals.
