Napoli Hellas Verona betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash should be one of the most unbalanced of this round of the Italian Championship, considering that it puts face-to-face two teams that have been doing completely different campaigns so far. While Napoli take the lead, Verona is part of the relegation zone, in the penultimate place. The home team has a very strong offensive power, especially in the individual plays and deep balls, showing a lot of efficiency when finalizing, while its defense fails in the aerial game. Verona has difficulty in keeping ball possession, but it stands out in counterattacks, while its defense shows fragility in several aspects, especially in the containment of counterattacks and in the coverage of the sides. Thus, by playing at home and also for its technical superiority, the most likely scenario is a Napoli-dominated game, with both teams unlikely to reach the goal.

Preview
Napoli and Hellas Verona face at Stadio San Paolo, in a match for the 20th round of the Serie A. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 19‑08‑2017, Napoli got an away win by (1‑3). At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 4 wins in the last 4 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 10‑04‑2016, in a match for the Serie A, Napoli won by (3‑0). The goals of the match were scored by M. Gabbiadini (33' ), L. Insigne (45' ) and José Callejón (70' ) for Napoli. Although this is a match between 1st and 19th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 5th best in home matches and the 17th best in away matches.

Analysis Napoli

After 15 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, the home team is in the 1st position, havinf won 48 points so far. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Crotone by (0‑1), after in the previous match they have won (3‑2) at home, against Sampdoria. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 28 points in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 7 conceded, against 20 points won at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 6 conceded. In their last match, for the Coppa Italia, they got a home loss against Atalanta by (1‑2). In the last 9 home league matches Napoli has a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 20 points out of 27 possible. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 19 matches for this competition, but have been able to turn the score around in 5.

Napoli has a chance to add the fourth win in a row for the Italian championship, and remain in the top spot in the competition, which is now being threatened by Juventus, who has one point less. In the last round, the team was far superior to the opponent, finishing with 71% of ball possession and almost five times more shots, leaving with an away win against Crotone. Once again, the defensive performance was fundamental to guarantee the three points, and this sector has been taking great responsibility in the excellent team's campaign, so much so that today is the second less leaked of the competition. The attack is also performing well, since it is the third best, being the second that finishes the most. Playing at home, the team won 20 of the 27 points played, and in that condition conceded only six goals. It is likely that the coach will keep the team in the 4-3-3, with Hamsik standing out in the midfield.

Confirmed Lineup: Pepe Reina, Elseid Hysaj, Mário Rui, Albiol, Kalidou Koulibaly, Jorginho, Allan, Marek Hamšík, Dries Mertens, José Callejón, Lorenzo Insigne.
Coach: W. Mazzarri.

Analysis Verona

The away team is currently in the 19th position of the league, with 13 points won, after 3 wins, 4 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Udinese, by (4‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Juventus, by (1‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, with 9 goals scored and 20 conceded at home, against 9 goals scored and 19 conceded in away matches. In the last 9 away league matches Hellas Verona has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Verona continues to perform poorly in this edition of the Italian Championship, and has shown no signs of recovery as it has only one win in the last five rounds and now comes from two consecutive defeats. The last of them took place at home against Juventus in a game where it missed many passes, finishing with 33% of ball possession and only three finals. However, worse than the attack has been the defensive system, which is now the second most leaked of the competition, with an average of 2.05 goals conceded per game. The team is one of those who miss the most passes in the league, thus influencing ball possession, which has the second worst average. The 4-4-1-1 or 4-3-3 should be the tactical scheme used in that clash by the coach, who will probably keep Büchel as a reference in the midfield.

Confirmed Lineup: Nicolas, Alex Ferrari, Martín Cáceres, Thomas Heurtaux, Antonio Caracciolo, Mohamed Fares, Daniel Bessa, Rômulo, Marcel Büchel, Moise Kean, Daniele Verde.
Coach: M. Baroni.
