Napoli have enjoyed a very strong start to the 2022-23 Serie A season as Spalletti looks to keep them in the title race in the opening weeks of the campaign.
His charges are one of four sides still unbeaten in five games so far this season with 11 points on the board putting them second, behind front runners Atalanta, heading into the weekend.
A goalless draw against Fiorentina, in between two wins either side, has been the only negative for Spalletti in recent weeks and they will be confident of a positive result back on home soil.
Napoli look set to pick up their fifth win of the campaign with Spezia winless since the opening weekend of the campaign.
Spalletti’s side go into this game as the highest scorers in Serie A so far this season with 12 goals scored at an average of over two goals per 90 minutes of league action.
Napoli have scored two or more goals in three of their five league games with five from two netted in Naples and three of their five games have featured over 2.5 total goals per game.
Despite their position as underdogs ahead of this contest, Spezia will be aiming to cause problems for their hosts, with five goals from five games, including at least one goal scored in three of those clashes.
In their combined 10 league games, Napoli and Spezia have been involved in seven games where both sides have scored, with just two clean sheets for Spalletti’s Napoli.
The hosts will be looking to maintain their unbeaten run in this tie with Napoli aiming to balance the demands of Serie A and Champions League football in the coming weeks.
