Antonio Conte’s side bounced back at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona where Romelu Lukaku’s goal secure a deserved 1-0 win against Roma. Scott McTominay scored in a 1-0 win at Torino where they had 1.64-0.44 expected goals.

Napoli are coming off a 3-1 defeat at Lazio in the Coppa Italia. Conte rested most of his starting side in a clear demonstration that he is prioritising the title challenge in Serie A.

Napoli Injuries & Team News

Right-back Pasquale Mazzocchi is out with a calf injury.

Alessandro Buongiorno, Amir Rrahmani, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Stanislav Lobotka, Frank Anguissa, Scott McTominay, Matteo Politano, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Romelu Lukaku should all return to the starting side.

Lazio Form

Lazio recently went on a seven match winning streak which included two victories in the Europa League. They couldn’t make it eight straight after a 0-0 draw against Ludogorets where they had 20-3 shots.

Marco Baroni’s side failed to take their chances once again as they returned to Serie A with a 3-1 defeat at Parma. Valentin Castellanos reduced the deficit to 2-1 in the 80th minute but they were unable to make the most of an 2.42-1.27 expected goals advantage.

Lazio beat Napoli 3-1 in the Coppa Italia on Thursday. Mattia Zaccagni saw an early penalty saved but Tijjani Noslin came to the rescue, the Dutch forward hitting a hat-trick in 18 minutes to help his side advance.

Lazio Injuries & Team News

Centre-back Alessio Romagnoli and left-back Nuno Tavares is injured alongside midfielders Gaetano Castrovilli, Matias Vecino and striker Boulaye Dia.

Midfielder Nicolo Rovella is suspended.

Expect Matteo Guendouzi and Valentin Castellanos to come back into the starting side in Naples.

Verdict

Napoli v Lazio

Lazio beat Napoli in the Coppa Italia last week but are likely to find this a tougher proposition. Antonio Conte’s side do their best work at home where they can regain top spot in Serie A.
