Napoli form and stats

The hosts won their first Serie A game here at Stadio San Paolo, Napoli, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Napoli last season were 10 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from 19 games.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Napoli, as their goalkeeper Alex Meret has completely shut out the opponents for 248 minutes in the Serie A.

Napoli's previous game was a Serie A match also played at home, ending 6-0 versus Genoa (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. In the game before, an away victory match versus Parma with a 2-0 scoreline.

As mentioned above, Napoli "killed" Genoa in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Napoli has scored 6 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
