Bitesize Prediction: Napoli vs Verona – 07/01/25

Competition: Serie A

Market: Napoli win

Odds: 4/11 @ BetUS

Hoping to skyrocket their way back to the top of the Serie A standings on Wednesday evening, Napoli will welcome Verona to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Starting with the hosts, crowned Super Cup champions over in the Middle East on December 22nd as they secured a 2-0 victory against Bologna, Napoli have their sights firmly set on completing a famous domestic silverware sweep in 2026. Storming their way to an iconic four Serie A title last season, Antonio Conte’s men are now looking to reclaim their spot at the top of the table. Rightfully pencilled in as a standout contender in midweek, the former Chelsea boss will be calling on his reigning Serie A champions to make another statement on Wednesday evening. Last seen over the weekend getting the New Year underway with a fiery 2-0 win away at historic rivals Lazio, Napoli have won all of their previous four domestic appearances by a 2-0 scoreline. Getting their Super Cup adventure underway last month with a heavyweight scalp as they came past AC Milan, Conte’s side have also found some crucial defensive stability. In fact, the Azzurri have now conceded a single strike against Serie A opposition in over 270 minutes of action.

As for the visitors, while Verona might have sprung a real upset last month as they secured consecutive Serie A victories, it appears that might have been just a minor boost for Paolo Zanetti’s camp. Last seen over the weekend getting 2026 underway with a nightmare performance at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at home against Torino, the Veneto-based outfit have dropped back into the drop zone and they are widely regarded as a standout relegation contender this season. Signing off December with another 3-0 defeat against AC Milan, Wednesday’s guests have collected just 12 points from any of their 17 Serie A appearances this season. Likewise, mustering just a pair of top-flight wins this year, Zanetti’s downbeat squad will be more than aware that they face a monumental challenge when they travel to Naples here. Two camps who are firmly scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Serie A standings, it is hard to see anything other than a routine home victory at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
