Napoli are facing one of their toughest tests in 2023 as they welcome Lazio to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Matchday 25 in Serie A.
Luciano Spalletti’s side have got an incredible 18-point lead and are the overwhelming favourites in every game they play. Lazio are coming into this weekend in the top four and that is exactly where they want to stay.
Maurizio Sarri’s side knows there is no shame in losing to this Napoli side, there is not a lot to lose when it comes to their approach on Friday night.
Napoli vs Lazio: Predicted line-ups
The two clear absentees for Napoli ahead of this match are Mario Rui and Giacomo Raspadori. The former is suspended after his straight red card against Empoli and the latter is suffering from an injury. Spalletti is not expected to make any major changes for this one.
Nicolo Casale is suspended for this one which is a blow for Lazio whilst Pedro will be evaluated right up until the last second. That means both sides are not far away from full strength.
