Napoli Vs Lazio Free Match Preview And Prediction For Thursday 22nd April, 2021

Napoli come into the match having been held to a 1-1 draw by top of the table Inter Milan at home on the weekend. Napoli took the lead courtesy of an own goal in 36th minute but Inter Milan did not take long to find the equaliser in the second half, scoring in the 55th minute to level the game and take a point.

Napoli have remained undefeated in their 7 most recent Serie A fixtures at the Stadio San Paolo, winning 6 of those games. There have been victories over Fiorentina, Parma, Juventus, Benevento, Bologna, and Crotone. Napoli have managed to score at least one goal in each of their last 19 matches in Serie A. That includes each of their last 12 home league games.

Lazio come into the match on the back of an entertaining 5-3 home win over Benevento on the weekend. They were 4-1 up after only 48 minutes of the match but allowed Benevento to close the gap to 4-3 with 5 minutes remaining only to secure maximum points with a fifth goal in the 90th minute.

Lazio have little trouble in scoring goals when playing away and they have scored at least one goal in 12 of their last 13 away league fixtures. However, Lazio have managed only 3 clean sheets in their last 11 away Serie A matches.  Lazio have won each of their last 5 Serie A matches and that includes each of their last two on the road.

Napoli will be without Diego Demme who is suspended. David Ospina and Faouzi Ghoulam are likely to be the only two players unavailable for the hosts due to injury.

Lazio travel without the injured duo of Gonzalo Escalante and Luiz Felipe. They are the only two injury concerns for Simone Inzaghi and Lazio should be close to full strength for this game.

PREDICTION: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE AND EXPECT NAPOLI TO COME OUT ON TOP.
