Our prediction for this Serie A match:
All eyes will be on Stadio Olimpico when Lazio and Napoli square off against each other in the Serie A derby. The Biancocelesti aim to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over Monza, but they will have a big fish to fry against the league leaders. Former Barcelona forward Pedro should keep his place in the starting XI as Boulaye Dia limped off with injury in the last league match, while all Elseid Hysaj, Matias Vecino, and Patric remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Partenopei, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Udinese. Even though Napoli have won five of their last six away games in the Italian top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Leonardo Spinazzola, Mathias Olivera, and David Neres are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
