Napoli still unbeaten at home
SSC Napoli will face Hellas Verona on matchday 19 of Serie A. This will be a clash between the third-placed team and the bottom team in the table. Napoli have already collected 37 points and are currently two points behind leaders Inter Milan. Hellas Verona, on the other hand, have only twelve points and are currently level on points with the teams in 19th and 18th place. The hosts are very strong at home and have won their last two home games 2-0. In our Napoli vs. Hellas Verona prediction, we are once again predicting a shutout victory for the club from Vesuvius.
The Neapolitans remain almost flawless at home and are still unbeaten after 13 competitive games – only two goalless draws mar their perfect record. Currently, however, the winning streak stands at six games in a row at their home ground, the Diego Armando Maradonna, with SSC keeping three clean sheets. In their last three home games, the hosts have even scored in both halves each time, which is why we are venturing a prediction of another goal in both halves for the third-placed team in Napoli vs. Hellas Verona.
Napoli’s record against Hellas Verona looks particularly good. The Neapolitans’ last home defeat against Verona was in 1983. In the following 20 home games, Napoli remained unbeaten, winning 15 of them. As they won ten of these games without conceding a goal, we think another clean sheet is not unlikely and are betting on this at NEO.bet.
Hellas Verona has been in very modest form this season, but has picked up half of its twelve points so far this season in its last four games, celebrating its only two wins of the season against Bergamo and Florence. However, this was followed by two sobering 3-0 defeats against AC Milan and Turin.
There is virtually no difference between their home and away records, as Verona has picked up six points both at home and away. However, they have the second-weakest defense in the league away from home, conceding 16 goals in nine competitive games. Against a strong Napoli side at home, we are therefore betting on over 1.5 goals for Napoli in the Bet365 app for Napoli vs. Hellas Verona.
Napoli – Hellas Verona Head-to-head record / H2H record
SSC Napoli and Hellas Verona have played each other 71 times in competitive matches. Most of these games have been in Serie A, with the rest coming in national competitions. Napoli have emerged victorious 38 times, while 19 games have ended in a draw. Verona have won 14 games.
The goal difference also clearly favors the southern Italians: with 120 goals scored, Napoli have scored almost twice as many goals as Verona (60). The historical head-to-head record therefore clearly favors SSC.
Napoli – Hellas Verona Tip
According to bookmakers with a German license, the betting odds for the Napoli vs. Hellas Verona match clearly favor the hosts. SSC Napoli have won six of their seven Serie A home games and are still unbeaten on home turf. Overall, Napoli have won their last four competitive games in a row – all by a score of 2-0.
Verona, on the other hand, have not won in 20 away games in Naples, losing 15 of those games. Overall, the Gialloblù have won only one of their last nine competitive games against SSC – a 3-0 victory in their last home game last season. This season, they have won only one of their ten away games and also have the second-weakest away defense in the league. Hopes of a possible point are correspondingly low.
