Napoli Team News

It wasn't an easy game at Empoli but Napoli won it with a penalty kick goal around the hour mark, for a third consecutive win for this team in Serie A. As Inter and Juventus play on Sunday, and could steal points off each other, Napoli could have an even bigger cushion at the top of the table come the end of this round.

What's important to mention here is that Napoli can finally enjoy home support on their own stadium, as opposed to immense pressure to perform, as they're now in a series of six straight wins in Naples since the start of the season, with only two goals conceded, too.

Lecce Team News

As we keep saying every week, Lecce is a troubled side that can't score, and whose best case scenario is to get a draw somehow. Since they don't threaten anyone with their offense, the other team can freely attack. They are now in a series of four consecutive defeats, three in the league and one in the cup, where they failed to score. In the last round they suffered a disaster against Fiorentina as the visitors won 0-6, courtesy of an early red card for the hosts.

Probable Lineups

Napoli (4-3-3): Meret - Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno, Olivera - Anguissa, Gilmour, McTominay - Ngonge, Lukaku, Neres. Coach Conte.

Lecce (4-3-3): Falcone - Pelmard, Gaspar, Baschirotto, Dorgu - Ramadani, Pierret, Coulibaly - Morente, Krstovic, Banda. Coach Gotti.

Kvaratskhelia and Raspadori could be rested here.

The Betting Market

We get a price of 1.38 on Napoli, which is more than 1.35 against Monza and less than 1.46 against Como. It sounds about right, Napoli is a huge favourite here and is winning in such situations this season without fail.

The Betting Verdict

We'll take the asian handicap on Napoli, as this is a side that's interested in winning with two goals or more as they still have a chip on the shoulder. At the same time, if goals start pouring in, Lecce doesn't have the power to stop them.

The Pick :

Napoli 3-0 Lecce
