• Napoli have won 14 of their last 18 matches
• The visitors have been beaten in six of their nine trips
• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in all of Verona’s clashes with the top six

Conte’s side chase revenge

Antonio Conte’s Serie A bow with Napoli went terribly wrong, with the Partenopei being thumped 3-0 at Verona. The Italian didn’t hold back in his reaction, using the result to force through the transfers he had been demanding all summer.

Conte got his way and it paid off, with the club soaring in the aftermath of that loss to Verona. They’ve won 14 of their last 18 Serie A assignments, putting them top of the table heading into this weekend’s action.

Meanwhile, Verona’s opening weekend win didn’t prove to be an accurate measure of their talents, having lost 12 of their last 18 league games. The visitors have suffered six defeats on their travels, while they’ve been comfortably dispatched by the rest of the top six.

Verona have lost 3-1 at Fiorentina, 2-1 at Lazio and 6-1 at Atalanta. They were also taken apart at home, losing 5-0 to Inter Milan and 3-0 to Juventus. It seems they caught Napoli off guard, but the Partenopei won’t be as undercooked in this contest. Conte’s side thumped Fiorentina 3-0 last weekend and given the gulf between these two, the hosts can claim revenge over Verona with a high-scoring victory.
