    06/04/23 8198

    After the stunning scenes of last weekend at home, Napoli are back in action on the road against Lecce as the league leaders look to swiftly move on from their loss to AC Milan and edge closer to taking away their crown.

    Despite sitting so comfortably ahead at the top of the table, Napoli proved last weekend that slip ups and defeats can come for even the very best after a devastating 4-0 defeat on home soil.

    It marked the heaviest loss in Naples for the league leaders for many years and also just their third Serie A defeat of the season.

    ​​The loss now brings Napoli to being the second-best defensive team in the league now, with their 20 goals let in bettered by Lazio's 19 in second place of Serie A.

    On the other hand, the destined winners of the league still sit above Lazio in second by 16 points and are ahead of AC Milan in third by 20 points.

    Ultimately, despite the defeat, if Napoli can continue to win and keep this gap on Lazio, they will still rack up the league title with around five games left to go.

    However, there needs to be a serious bounceback from the dreadful display last weekend that saw Napoli 2-0 down at half time and 4-0 down by the 67th minute.

    Prior to this, however, Luciano Spalletti's side still managed to hammer Torino 4-0 in Turin and ease past Eintracht Frankfurt over two legs in the Champions League with a 3-0 home win and a 2-0 away victory.

    They also defeated Atalanta 2-0 back in Serie A, although they did lose at home to Lazio just before this which now means two Serie A losses in a month for Napoli.

    As for Lecce, they continue to hover just above the relegation zone by two places in the table. However, they are still above 18th-placed Hellas Verona by eight points and come into this match with six wins and 13 losses on the board.

    It's now been five games since the fantastic win in Bergamo over Atalanta for Lecce, as the club have gone on to lose five in a row against Sassuolo, Inter Milan, Torino, Fiorentina and Lecce.

    Forebet predicts a win for Napoli and for them to immediately bounce back into the win column. Forebet also predicts the game to see over 2.5 goals.
