## Prediction

Napoli have conceded the most penalties in Serie A this season (8) [fotmob](https://www.fotmob.com/matches/lazio-vs-ssc-napoli/2szrou) — a genuine vulnerability Lazio will look to exploit. However, Napoli at the Maradona are a different beast entirely, and with Lazio missing their first-choice goalkeeper and a key midfielder, the home side’s quality edge should prevail in what promises to be an enthralling contest.

**Our Pick: Napoli 2–1 Lazio** ✅
