Napoli vs Lazio Betting Tips

Napoli sits at the top of the table ahead of Lazio who occupies the 5th spot in the Italian league. Napoli has been in excellent form in the Italian league this season. Though they had their latest defeat at the hands of the defending champions Inter Milan, the match was a hard-fought win for Inter Milan. 

Lazio has been having a mixed run but a decent form based on their standards, losing just 3 of their last 10 games in all competitions, winning 4 and drawing 3.  Their last 5 matches in the Italian League have seen them lose two games, win 2, and draw 1. 

This is one of the hardest to predict matches in Italy because it can go both ways or depend on which team needs the results most. Either way, we provide our two top betting tips for this match below.

Napoli Form and Team News

As mentioned above, Napoli has been in decent form and that is evident as they are joint top League leaders with AC Milan. Their striker Victor Oshimen has been a great thorn in the flesh for opposition defense, scoring match-winning goals or point-securing goals for them. 

Napoli has gone 12 league games unbeaten but was beaten over the weekend by a determined Inter Milan side last weekend. They have won 10 matches and drawn 2 since the season started. 

For the team news, Anguissa A. Z. (Groin Injury), Demme D. (Illness), Insigne L., (Knee Injury), Osimhen V., (Face Injury), Ounas A., (Thigh Injury), Politano M. (Quarantine), and Zanoli A. are all out or doubt for this match. 

Lazio Form and Team News

Lazio is sitting 5th in the Italian League table as they visit League leaders in what might look like their biggest test of the season. In their last 5 Italian League matches, they have won 2, lost 2, and drawn 1. While their last 10 games in all competitions, they have won 4, lost 3, and drawn 4 which means that they have been having a mixed run of form.  

For the Lazio team news, only Adekanye B. (Knee Injury) and Marusic A. are out or a doubt for this weekend clash.

Our Tipsters Angle

This Italian League top-flight match can determine if Napoli gets to vacate their position at the top of the league in the event of an AC Milan win or will Lazio lose their 5th position. Based on team strength, form, and stats, Napoli is the stronger side, but over the years, being the stronger side has never been a determinant of the result of this match. 

Both teams, in their last 5 meetings in all competitions have seen Napoli win 3 times and Lazio win 2 times. However, with Victor Oshimen out for 3 months with a face injury, it will be hard to call Napoli favorites in this match. 

Tip 1: Any team Can Win (12) 

In the last 10 games between these two sides, there hasn’t been a single draw. All 10 games in all competitions have had winnings as the match result. Also, we are backing this market option because Napoli looks like the stronger side and might actually win the game. 

Also, the irregularity of Lazio’s match results and available full squad puts them in a capable position to snatch a win from this match. 

At the Casumo Sportsbook, Both Teams to Score is available at odds 1.23.

Tip 2: Over 2.5 Goals

Both teams seem to know how to score even in tight games. Napoli has scored a whopping 26 goals this season while Lazio has scored 27 goals. In their last 10 games in all competitions, 60% of their matches ended in over 2.5 goals while there were over 1.5 goals in 80% of the matches. 

We expected this match to be a high-scoring game even without the Naples’ deadly striker Victor Oshimen. 

Over 2.5 goals is available for this match at Casumo sportsbook at 1.62 odds and we think it is a good value for this match. 

Conclusion

Will Napoli maintain the position at the top of the table? We don’t know yet, but we know that this match is poised to be one of the most interesting matches of an eventful weekend. Napoli has been in a blistering form and is joint top league leader, but Lazio has their bragging rights and might cause an upset.
