Prediction for the Coppa Italia match which will take place on December 5. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Romans suffered a rare defeat for this season last weekend. The team met away with Parma and conceded three times. The Biancocelesti managed to score only once and lost 1:3. This failure was the fourth for Lazio in 14 rounds of the championship. The capital team has already nine victories. In the standings Lazio are on the fifth line with four points behind the first place.

The defeat against Parma can be explained by the fact that Lazio played this match just two days after the Europa League meeting. There, the Romans at their own stadium failed to cope with Bulgarian Ludogorets - 0:0. The Biancocelesti had the right even for such a misfire. In the four rounds before that, Lazio have won consistently and currently share first place in the standings with Athletic Bilbao and Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Neapolitans failed the previous season, and in this one they do not play in the European cups. But this allows the team to focus on the championship. Napoli are leading in Serie A after 14 rounds, having won 10 matches and conceded only 9 goals in that stretch. In the last game, which took place last Sunday, the Neapolitans beat Torino away. 1:0 - Scott McTominay scored the only goal midway through the first half.

In the Italian Cup, also due to the failure of last season, Napoli started from the early stages. At the very beginning of the season the Southerners on their field beat Modena in a penalty shootout - 1:0 (0:0). Napoli beat Palermo at home - 5:0.

Lazio is excellent in the Europa League, and in the Italian championship is behind the top-4 only by additional indicators. The Biancocelesti hardly need another problem in the form of the National Cup. Napoli, given the leadership in Serie A and the lack of European cups, may well aspire to a golden double. At least, Antonio Conte has a lot of experience of such victories. We believe that the Neapolitans are underestimated here, and we bet on them reaching the quarterfinals of the tournament.
