Napoli welcome Chievo to the Stadio San Paolo on Saturday night and the home side will surely be desperate to claim the three points from the clash.
Napoli Match Betting News
Napoli earned a 1-1 draw away to Fiorentina last time out and while the result was most certainly not the worst in the world, they have now lost ground to Juventus at the top of the table.
The gap at top remains only three points but Juventus are showing no signs of slowing down and Maurizio Sarri will be keen on his side not to drop more points anytime soon.
Now Napoli prepare for a clash against Chievo on Saturday night and although not easy, Sarri will need his men to claim the three points at all costs from the clash.
Omar El Kaddouri and Ivan Strinic are the two injury concerns for Napoli ahead of the game while defender Raul Albiol is unavailable due to suspension.
Chievo Match Betting News
Chievo have enjoyed another fruitful campaign so far and following their disappointing derby loss against Hellas, the Gialloblu delivered a fine response by claiming a 1-0 triumph over Genoa last week.
Now relegation should no longer be a concern for Chievo and a finish in the top half of the table is likely to be the ultimate ambition for manager Rolando Maran.
Things remain tight in the table though and Chievo will surely find it very difficult to claim a positive result this weekend as they prepare to lock horns against Napoli away from home.
Mariano Julio Izco, Federico Mattiello and Alessandro Gamberini remain sidelined with long term injuries while Massimo Gobbi is suspended.
Napoli vs Chievo Match Prediction
Chievo actually managed a 1-0 victory over Napoli during their last visit to the Stadio San Paolo but a repeat of such a result this weekend looks highly unlikely.
Napoli are in rampant mood in their bid to claim the Serie A title and although Chievo are likely to put up a good fight, Maurizio Sarri’s men are expected to claim the three points on the night by a comfortable margin.
