The Neapolitan side under Conte has not only improved—they reclaimed the “Scudetto” in 2025. This season has been more contradictory: yes, they added the Super Cup in January, but failed to reach the Champions League playoffs. In Serie A, they have fallen behind Milan and Inter. In the previous round, they defeated the former. But then they were held to a 1-1 draw by Parma.
The capital club lost sixth place to Fiorentina last spring due to tiebreakers. Sarri returned as head coach in the summer, but his success has come only in the cup—next week, they’ll play the second leg of the semifinal. In the league, even after a series of wins in March, seventh place is still out of reach. Especially after sharing points with Parma and losing to Fiorentina after the break.
The reigning champion scores an average of 1.5 goals per match, conceding a third less—0.97 per game. The Romans score just one goal per match but concede even less—0.94.
Previous Matches: Napoli vs Lazio
The capital club had a six-match unbeaten run but lost 0-2 at home to the Scudetto holders in January.
