The first midweek round of games in the 2022-23 Serie A season is packed with crucial ties and these Napoli vs. Lecce predictions focus on an eye-catching fixture. The two sides have endured contrasting fortunes at the start of the campaign with two wins from two for Napoli and zero points for Lecce.
Napoli vs. Lecce odds
1 – Napoli to win at – 3/10
2 – Napoli over 1.5 total goals – 4/11
3 – Total goals scored over 2.5 – 3/5
4 – Both teams not to score – 20/23
5 – Napoli to win 3-0 at – 15/2
Napoli have emerged as the form team in the opening weeks of the 2022-23 Serie A season with successive wins for Luciano Spalletti’s side. Impressive wins over Verona and Monza have set the tone in Naples and Spalletti is pushing to keep his side in the running for a potential title push.
The hallmark of Napoli’s start to the campaign has been high-scoring matches and they will be looking to continue that form in this tie. Nine goals in their first two games is the highest in Serie A, at an incredible average of 4.5 goals scored per 90 minutes, heading into this clash.
The home side netting multiple goals is a very strong option in this game and they are expected to be firing on all cylinders at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Alongside their ability to net goals at an impressive rate, Napoli have been involved in over 2.5 total goals scored encounters in both of their Serie A matches this season, with Lecce involved in over 2.5 total goals in 50% of their games.
Napoli have only conceded two goals in two games this season, with zero let in on home soil, and they will be confident of shutting out Leece in Naples. The visitors meanwhile have only managed one goal in their own opening fortnight up against Sassuolo and defending champions Inter.
Spalletti will not be expecting any issues in securing a win in this contest and based on their firepower in attack, particularly through summer signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, they should sweep Lecce aside ahead of a demanding run of fixtures on the horizon next month.

Napoli team news
Sarri has a fully-fit squad to pick from ahead of this game and he is likely to stick with a largely unchanged team based on their positive form. Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen will again lead the line for the home side.
Lecce team news
Lecce head coach Marco Baroni is without defensive pair Mert Cetin and Kastriot Dermaku through injury, with neither player expected to return to action before September. However, with their own form heading in an opposite direction, he will reshuffle in Naples.
