Serie A
Napoli against Lazio is shaping up to be one of the most interesting clashes of the round, although the situation for both teams is quite different. The hosts continue to be involved in the title race and occupy second place in the standings, while Lazio's prospects look much less clear. Napoli is on a six-match unbeaten run, having won five of those matches, albeit all by a narrow margin, before the draw with Parma in the last round.
Inconsistencies for Lazio away from homeLazio went through a brief upturn with three consecutive wins, but has lost its rhythm in recent matches - a draw with Parma and a loss to Fiorentina. As guests, the team adopts a more cautious style, which is clearly reflected in the statistics - in 12 of their last 13 league visits, there have been fewer than 2.5 goals.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goalsConsidering the playing style of both teams and the trend towards low scoring, my expectations are for a closed and tactical match. It seems unlikely that we will see more than two goals in this encounter.
