Prediction published on 27/04/2023, 06:44  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

Napoli could confirm their first Serie A title since 1989/90 if they beat Salernitana on Saturday and Lazio fail to beat Inter Milan on Sunday. The hosts are top of the table with a 17-point gap to nearest challengers Lazio, while the visitors are 14th going into the weekend with a seven-point cushion over the relegation zone. Napoli defeated Juventus 1-0 via a stoppage time goal getting them closer to the league title. They still have the joint-best defensive record in the league with only 21 goals conceded which makes them a tough side to beat. That goes well with their scoring record that has already landed a league-high 67 goals. The hosts will be hopeful of making the big occasion of winning the title in front of their home fans, but need to be vigilant about their recent form. They have lost two and won just one of their last four league matches at this venue, which could be a worry if not corrected immediately.

Salernitana have been impressively stubborn in the recent weeks going unbeaten for eight league matches, winning two and drawing six. That sequence saw them hold top-six contenders like AC Milan, Inter Milan and Bologna to scoring draws. The threat of relegation is no longer there with the visitors moving up the table and could move closer towards safety with another point. That would need them continue their four-game drawing run in the league, although it won’t be straightforward. Salernitana have won just twice away from home in this league campaign but one of those have come against top-two side Lazio, so they can’t be taken lightly.
