Prediction for the Serie A match between Napoli vs Lazio, which will take place on December 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Napoli

Napoli began the season with a crushing 3:0 defeat at the hands of Verona. It seemed as if Antonio Conte would need a lot of time to get his ideas across to his players, but in fact, from the second round onwards, the hosts began to earn points. So, they went right to the top of Serie A.

In their next 13 league games, the Sky Blues won ten matches, drew 0:0 with Juventus and 1:1 with Inter, and lost 3:0 to Atalanta. With results like that, Napoli is obviously ready to take on the biggest challenges.

Lazio

Lazio is another team that started the season with a new head coach, but Marco Baroni has managed to get the Romans playing results quickly. In their opening five games, Lazio won just twice, drew once, and lost twice, but then began to turn things around.

In their next nine Serie A matches, the Eagles won seven and lost only to Juventus and Lazio, 1:0 and 3:1. That run of form has seen them climb to fifth in the standings. Lazio also beat Napoli 3:1 in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia this week.

Expert Betting Tips

The opponents are having great seasons and are among the leaders in Serie A. At the same time, the Neapolitans are the favourites, as they are showing great results. They have won seven of their last eight home games, which indicates their current form, while the Romans cannot boast a similar record on the road. Now we can back the hosts to win.

In recent times, the confrontation between Napoli and Lazio has been characterised by high efficiency. In the eight H2H meetings, Napoli and Lazio have scored 25 goals (an average of 3.13 per game). Six of those games ended with the total over. On that basis, a total over (2.5) is the best bet.
