Napoli form and stats

Napoli are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 9 points in the bag from 3 travels in the Serie A. Impressively, the visitors are on a six-match winning run which they hope continue versus Fiorentina.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Napoli goalkeeper David Ospina Ramirez is eager to challenge this, with his 350 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Napoli failed to get anything from their last game, a Europa League home match vs Spartak Moskva that ended with defeat 2-3. Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.33. Lorenzo served one assist, hit two key passes and won 9 of 12 duels.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Cagliari.

Napoli are scoring goals for fun in their league games away this season, having clocked up more than three goals per game on average (10 goals from 3 away games). Napoli's manager L. Spalletti has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
