The visiting Napoli side should be favourites in this visit to Chievo, as the away team holds a 53 point advantage from their 31 league games this season.

Chievo form and stats

Chievo's struggle is real here at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi with only 8 points collected from 15 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 1-5-9. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Chievo, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Chievo lost their last game at Bologna after a 0-3 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Sassuolo.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Chievo here at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi, with less than one goal per game on average (12 from 15 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 29 goals have been conceded.
