05/12 Today’s Football Predictions: Lazio vs Napoli + 9 more tips

Betting Predictions

Lazio and Napoli will meet at Stadio Olimpico on Thursday in the opening match of an alluring Coppa Italia and Serie A doubleheader.

Prior to their league match on Sunday in Naples, both southern powerhouses will want to advance to the Coppa quarterfinals. 

Head-to-Head

This season’s first meeting between these two teams will take place here. Additionally, it is the first of a doubleheader of league and cup games. Three days following this cup match, the two will square off again in Serie A, with Napoli serving as the host.

Lazio is making its tournament debut thanks to its strong finish from the previous season, whereas Napoli has participated in the last two Cup rounds. Lazio is the bookies’ favorite to move on to the next round because it has won all three of its meetings with Napoli. In the quarterfinals, the victor of this one-leg matchup will face either Inter Milan or Udinese, two Serie A rivals.

Team News

Gaetano Castovilli is still recuperating from knee surgery, Lazio midfielder Matias Vecino will be sidelined for at least another week, and left-back Nuno Tavares is also sidelined. An ankle injury to Boulaye Dia, a productive counterpoint for leading scorer Taty Castellanos since joining in the summer, may further limit Marco Baroni’s choices.

Pedro, Samuel Gigot, and cup goalkeeper Christos Mandas are all expected to enter Baroni’s lineup this Thursday, just like in the Europa League.

As the teams prepare for their league match on Sunday, Antonio Conte has indicated that he may rotate his lineup a bit and even alluded to a possible formation change.

The Napoli coach added that his entire team should be ready, with the exception of the injured Pasquale Mazzocchi. He especially stressed the necessity of giving Italy forward Giacomo Raspadori more playing time.

Regular starters like Scott McTominay, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Romelu Lukaku may be rested to allow players like Leonardo Spinazzola, David Neres, and Raspadori to shine.

Odds by Betway

Probable Line-Up

Lazio XI:

Mandas; Marusic, Gigot, Patric, Pellegrini; Rovella, Guendouzi; Tchaouna, Pedro, Noslin; Castellanos

Napoli XI:

Caprile; Di Lorenzo, Marin, Jesus, Spinazzola; Folorunsho, Gilmour; Neres, Raspadori, Ngonge; Simeone

Verdict

Tip Napoli to Win❌

Reason

Even though Napoli has been extremely difficult to defeat this season, they will be watching Sunday’s match closely and could end up being Lazio’s most recent victims at the Olimpico. Conte’s second string hardly ever gets a look-in, while the hosts’ peripheral players are used to playing most weeks after being on Europa League duty since September.

Tip: Under 2.5 Goals❌

Reason

This season, both teams have excellent defenses. This is particularly true for Napoli, who have only given up nine goals in their 16 games this season. Only Inter, the reigning champions, have scored once in a game at Giuseppe Meazza in their last three games. However, except for their most recent defeat to Parma, Lazio has also played well defensively, especially when contrasted to their performance in the Europa League. These two contenders will compete in the 1/8 finals after an unforgiving Coppa Italia draw. With the stakes high, this match is likely to follow the trend of heated and fiery matches between both clubs.
