Napoli vs Lazio Prediction and Betting Tips | 2nd September 2023

The Serie A is returns with another round of matches this weekend as Napoli lock horns with Maurizio Sarri's Lazio side in an important clash at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday.

Napoli vs Lazio Preview

Napoli are currently in second place in the Serie A standings and have been in impressive form so far this season. The Neapolitan outfit eased past Sassuolo by a comfortable 2-0 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this match.

Lazio, on the other hand, are in 18th place in the league table at the moment and have failed to meet expectations this season. The Biancocelesti slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Genoa in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Napoli vs Lazio Prediction

Napoli have a brilliant squad at their disposal and were at their exhilarating best in the Serie A last season. Victor Osimhen has been exceptional for his side over the past year and will look to make his mark this weekend.

Lazio have endured a subpar start to their season and are in desperate need of a shot in the arm. Napoli are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Napoli 3-1 Lazio
