Napoli vs Lecce Predictions

• Napoli are unbeaten in their last seven league games, winning six during that run.
• Luciano Spalletti’s men have won three consecutive home games by at least a three-goal margin, scoring 13 goals in those fixtures.
• Lecce have failed to win any of their last four competitive games, and have lost their last three on the road.

Partenopei ready for Scudetto bid?

While Napoli were held to a goalless draw at Fiorentina last time out, their unbeaten start to an open-looking Serie A season has led to murmurings that a title challenge may be in the offing. With Napoli scoring nine goals already this term, the attacking quality at Luciano Spalletti’s disposal is the envy of Italy, and Lecce may not enjoy their trip to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday.

Napoli are unbeaten in their last seven league games, winning six during that run, which stretches back to last campaign. The Partenopei hammered Monza 4-0 when last on home soil, meaning they have won three consecutive home games by a three-goal margin or more, scoring 13 goals in total. With Georgian wonderkid Khvicha Kvaratskhelia impressing alongside Victor Osimhen, and Giacomo Raspadori and Giovanni Simeone also through the door, their attack should strike fear into Serie A defences.

Lecce have struggled, perhaps predictably, following their promotion to Serie A. Marco Baroni’s men have taken one point from three games in the division to date, and though they’ve remained competitive in each, that could change here. Lecce have also lost their last three away games, and only four Serie A teams have managed fewer shots than them this season.

Handicap can’t hold Napoli back

Given Napoli’s attacking excellence, backing them for a routine win on Wednesday appears prudent, and there looks to be more value in the handicap market than in backing goals, given Lecce’s own struggles at the sharp end of the pitch.

Meanwhile, a 2-0 Napoli win looks a decent correct score prediction and the pacey Kvaratskhelia represents a good anytime scorer punt, offering greater value than Osimhen.
