The Partenopei hope to edge closer to the Scudetto and these Napoli vs. Verona predictions suggest there will be three more points for the hosts this weekend. But the Gialloblu beat their hosts in January 2021 and will look to cause another upset on Saturday.
Napoli vs. Verona odds
1 – Napoli to win– 4/9
2 – Napoli to score under 2.5 goals – 2/5
3 – Both teams to score – 5/4
4 – Napoli not to keep a clean sheet – 5/6
5 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 5/7
Verona still have hopes of pulling off a great escape from relegation as they prepare to face Napoli this weekend. Marco Zafferoni’s side secured a surprise win against Sassuolo last weekend but will have a tougher ask at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday.
Napoli are very much on course for their first Scudetto in 33 years going into match day 30, boasting a well justified 16-point lead in the league table. Luciano Spalletti’s side have won 22 of their last 25 Serie A matches and will be confident of yet another win this weekend against a struggling Verona team.
Injury to Victor Osimhen has seen Napoli lose their relentless goalscoring form, with the Partenopei relying on an own goal to secure three points against Lecce last weekend. As a result, a wager on the hosts to score under 2.5 goals on Saturday could well pay off, especially as Verona have only conceded more than one goal in one of their last five games.
Despite being our tip to win, Napoli will have to be very careful not to allow complacency to slip into this game on Saturday. A once seemingly impregnable defence has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last two games, and the Partenopei have not managed to prevent Verona from scoring in any of their last five encounters.
As a result, a wager either on both teams to score or on Napoli to fail to keep a clean sheet for a third consecutive match could well pay off.
In fact, matches between the two sides tend to provide a relatively entertaining fixture for the neutral. The reverse fixture this season might have seemed one-sided on paper, with Napoli winning 5-2. But the first half saw the two teams exchange blow-for-blow with the sides level at half-time.
Should Verona come out of the traps quickly once again they may be able to take their hosts by surprise. While Napoli should have the firepower to avoid being beaten over 90 minutes, a wager on yet another high scoring game might be worth the risk.
