I think this is the most awaited match for all of us because in the previous meeting we saw Lazio successfully beat Napoli. But I think today Napoli will try to avenge their defeat by making a big win at their own headquarters, namely at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.
I would probably predict the result of this match with a score of 2-1 for Napoli to win. Because I think in Serie A Conte really won't let the team he coaches lose its position in first place. Because if Napoli fails to win in this match then first position will still be held by Atalanta or maybe by Inter Milan.
Cup games and league games often differ (not in favor of cup games due to priority, and of course I mean national cups and not the Champions League) so today Napoli are the favorites despite the previous result. Plus it's hard to imagine that in a roughly equal pair the underdog will win twice in a row, I think that Napoli's double chance is almost a 100% outcome. But I also expect Napoli to win.
This was definitely kind of a surprise for me because I thought Napoli was going to win this match. And they basically had to win this match if they had to stay on the top of the table. But now as they have lost the match, Atalanta has taken the place of the first position instead of them. I honestly thought that Lazio was coming from a loss in the last match and that's why they won't be able to win this match. I thought the best they would be able to do is getting a draw. But obviously, they have proved me wrong. I believe the competition is going to be more intense now in the first six positions. I think this is great for neutral fans. Because they obviously want to see competitions like this.
