Napoli is set to face Lazio at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in a Serie A clash on Saturday. The home team, currently second in the league standings, trails Inter Milan by nine points. To maintain their title hopes, Napoli must avoid any slip-ups for the rest of the season. Lazio, on the other hand, is aiming to secure a direct spot in European competitions and cannot afford to drop points either.
I Partenopei have remained unbeaten in their last six league matches. However, their five-game winning streak came to an end with a 1-1 draw against Parma last week. They conceded a goal in the opening minute, but Scott McTominay managed to equalize in the second half.
Thanks for the submission!
I Biancocelesti have not tasted victory in their two league matches this month. They suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Fiorentina on Monday, which ended their five-game unbeaten run. It was also the second time in six games that they failed to score.
