Verona vs SSC Napoli Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 15th August 2022

From a top three spot last season, SSC Napoli hope to hit the ground running when they take on Verona for their opening game of the Serie A campaign this coming Monday at Stadio M. A. Bentegodi.

SSC Napoli come visiting Verona, who finished last season in the Serie A as number nine on 53 points. In contrast, the aforementioned visitors finished number three on 79 points.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Verona and SSC Napoli are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at Stadio M. A. Bentegodi as the teams look to get one over each other.

Verona go into their next Serie A match, averaging a humble 1.2 goals per game in their last ten matches, in which they scored a mundane 12 times, while conceding 15 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.5 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring once.

SSC Napoli scored an average of 2.5 goals in ten matches for a total of 25 goals. They also conceded 11 goals or an average of 1.1 per game, as they managed three clean sheets.

Verona vs SSC Napoli Prediction

Verona only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Serie A matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored seven and conceded eight goals.

Verona’s priority for this season will be to stay clear of the relegation zone, while challenging for a spot in the upper half of the Serie A.

In their last three matches, SSC Napoli first beat Torino 0-1, then Genoa by 3-0 and finally Spezia by 0-3. SSC Napoli recorded no less than five in their previous six Serie A away matches, as well losing once and drawing none. They hit the target 13 themselves while allowing six goals against.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make SSC Napoli a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

Both Verona and SSC Napoli have been scoring freely over the past weeks, and we anticipate a very entertaining match. They usually throw caution to the wind, when clashing with each other.
