Napoli vs Lazio – Prediction, and Match Preview
Napoli vs Lazio – At Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday night, the top two teams from the previous Serie A season will square off as champions Napoli takes on runners-up Lazio in Gameweek No. 3.
I Partinopei started their title defense campaign in spectacular form, winning both of their opening matches against Frosinone and Sassuolo with ease and scoring five goals each.
In their match against Sassuolo on Sunday, Napoli had total control over the game, making up to 25 efforts, missing a penalty kick (Giacomo Raspadori), and winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Victor Osimhen and Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
Despite having a new head coach in between the two seasons, Napoli continues to dominate in the domestic scene thanks to a fantastic offensive combination between Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratshkelia.
The Nigerian forward, who won the Serie A Golden Boot last year, has scored three goals in two games. Rudi Garcia’s team will be huge favorites to beat Lazio, who haven’t lost a game all season.
I Biancocelesti lost to Lecce and Genoa in their season openers with one goal. The fact that Lazio had only two shots on goal in 90 minutes of their home encounter against Genoa last weekend speaks volumes about their current status.
