Serie A action continues this weekend, after a packed midweek schedule, and these Lazio vs. Napoli predictions offer an update at the top of the table. Both sides have enjoyed a strong start to the season with respective unbeaten records.
Lazio vs. Napoli odds
1 – A draw at – 14/5
2 – Napoli over 1.5 total goals – 11/10
3 – Total goals scored over 2.5 – 5/7
4 – Both teams to score – 6/10
5 – A 2-2 draw at – 11/1
The first weekend of Serie A action in September includes some fascinating match ups with Napoli’s trip to face Lazio a huge tie. The Maurizio Sarri derby pits the ex-Napoli boss against his current side in the Italian capital with the veteran coach losing both games against the Partenopei last season.
Both sides are yet to lose with identical records from their first four games – two wins and two draws. They’ve also both only conceded three goals, but Napoli have been more dangerous at the other end with 10 scored compared to Lazio’s six.
Ahead of this tie, the sides appear to be evenly matched, and it is difficult to pick a clear favourite, with a tight draw a strong option as an outcome at the Stadio Olimpico.
However, Luciano Spalletti’s side does have a better record in front of goal this season. Two of their four outings have included over 1.5 total goals scored by the Napolitano giants with Lazio scoring at an average of 1.5 per game.
Their respective goalscoring form indicates both teams will find the back of the net in Rome with a high scoring contest almost guaranteed.
Sarri and Spalletti will both be looking to preserve their unbeaten record at the start of September and an exciting draw would do that and allow the two managers to build towards a busy schedule of games ahead of the international break at the end of the month.
