Defending Serie A champions Napoli are struggling to stay afloat in the top-five race ahead of a crucial match against Verona. This matchday 23 will be played at the Diego Armando Maradona in Naples on Sunday. The hosts are 9th in the standings ahead of this weekend’s fixtures with 32 points from 21 matches while the visitors are 16th with 18 points from 22 games. Napoli are three points behind top-five and are still in the hunt for a European qualification spot. For that to happen though, they need to improve their recent form which has been going downhill. The hosts have won just one of their last five league games, losing and drawing two each. That leaves them depending on the home form which has been showing signs of improvement lately. The home side has won two and drawn one of their last three league matches at this venue.

Verona are only above the relegation zone on goal difference ahead of this weekend. With only two points separating sides from 15th to 19th, it is going to be a long battle to beat the drop. The visitors are likely to improve their chances if they continue their recent time, as they have four points from their last three league games. The problem is about their away form as Verona have struggled on the road lately. They have lost eight of their last ten away league games, while drawing the other two and staying winless.
