Napoli vs Lecce Predictions

• Napoli have not scored more than two goals in any of their last 15 home league games
• Lecce have conceded more than two goals only once in their last 11 contests and only twice in their 18 previous away league fixtures
• Napoli still have a faint chance of qualifying for Europe while Lecce are safe

Lecce look like they have hit the beach

Lecce look to be ‘on the beach’ as they head to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to face Napoli on the final day of the Serie A season. The Giallorossi have slipped to defeat without scoring in their last two games at home to Udinese and Atalanta, who both had much more at stake.

Napoli also have more riding on this clash than the visitors as they can squeeze into Europe again next term if they leapfrog Torino or Fiorentina and scrape into the top nine.

But with La Viola in action on Thursday night and Torino kicking off their final game of the campaign at Atalanta at the same time, the Partonopei may soon know the task is beyond them.

Napoli are no longer a high-powered attacking unit

That is as good a reason as any to swerve the match betting for this contest, although it also impacts other major markets. One aspect of Napoli’s play this season that overrides any motivational question marks that lie ahead of this fixture has been their inability to put teams away by scoring more than two goals.

High-scoring wins were commonplace under Luciano Spalletti, particularly in last season’s Scudetto-winning campaign, but despite retaining star attackers like Victor Osimhen and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, they have rarely been able to get out of third gear.

Opposing Napoli to score three looks worth a bet on this occasion as while they have failed to register a third in their last 15 home league games, Lecce have also avoided conceding more than two in 16 of their previous 18 road fixtures in the league.
