Napoli are in the chase for their third Serie A title and have started the season in very strong fashion. They have the belief and will be eying three points when they host Verona in Match Day 12 action. There is already a huge gap in the league standings separating these teams. Napoli are top of the table with 31 points, 16 ahead of Verona, who are placed eighth. Napoli are unbeaten in Serie A this season and in the last 20 matches. They have the best defence, having conceded just three league goals so far but they will miss the suspended Kalidou Koulibaly in this game. In the last four Serie A matches, they have straight clean sheets. Last season they missed a Champions League slot courtesy of a draw with Verona on the last day of the season, thus they will have a score to settle here. Victor Osimhen, who has been key for Napoli this season, is out with a calf injury and could miss this game.

Verona go to this game straight from a 2-1 win over Juventus and will be very confident facing another giant, having also recently beaten Lazio and Roma. They have a good scoring run ahead of this game, with goals in each of the last eight games, two or more in seven. However, they have conceded the most goals among the teams currently in the top nine of the league standings – 20. Givanni Simeone has been crucial for them in attack; he scored the two goals that sunk Juventus in their last game and now has seven goals in the last five matches. On the top scorers’ list, he is one behind Ciro Immobile of Lazio. In their last two matches against Napoli, Verona are unbeaten, with one win and a draw.
