Prediction: 1-1
Napoli
All eyes will be on Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi when Verona and Napoli take on each other in the Serie A season opener. The Mastini are low on spirits following a heavy Coppa Italia defeat to Bari (1-4), but it is well known that they are tough to beat at home. New recruit Thomas Henry is widely expected to make his Verona debut against Napoli, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Neapolitans, on the other hand, continue life without Lorenzo Insigne and Kalidou Koulibaly, but the club chiefs did well to sign the likes of Min-jae Kim, Leo Ostigard, and Mathias Oliveira in the summer transfer window. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards in the City of Love as Verona have turned their stadium into a real fortress. Forward Matteo Politano misses out with injury for the visiting side.
