Napoli form and stats

In the previous season, Napoli's league results were 24 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses, producing 5th place in the Serie A. In these 38 matches they scored 86 goals and let in 41. Performing as the home side in the former season Napoli managed 12-4-3 (win-draw-lost) with 50 goals and 20 conceded.

A good away victory last time out for Napoli, who won 5-2 against Hellas Verona (placed 19th). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The talented striker Lozano outperformed all the other footballers in that fixture and was awarded a match rating of 8.34 out of 10. Lozano served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Club Friendlies 2 home game that ended 2-2 versus Adana Demirspor.

Napoli are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 12 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 8, drew 2 and lost 2.
