Napoli vs Lazio prediction
THE FORECAST
Lazio lead Serie A with 28 points and a perfect five-match winning run, boasting superior attacking (2.4 gf) and defensive (0.8 ga) numbers, while Napoli are decimated by injuries to key players including Meret, Lobotka, Anguissa, McTominay, Buongiorno and many more, leaving them severely undermanned. Napoli's internal crisis following their Champions League defeat to Porto adds further instability, with the dressing room reportedly fractured and Allegri under mounting pressure, whereas Lazio arrive fresh with seven days' rest and no suspension concerns. The conditions are mild and neutral, posing no particular disadvantage to either side, and with Napoli also carrying only four days' rest from their European fixture, the advantage firmly rests with a confident, cohesive Lazio side.
