Napoli Form


Napoli started 2021 with a 4-1 win in Cagliari before throwing away three points in a 2-1 defeat to Spezia. They bounced back with three straight wins.

I Partenopei won 2-1 at Udinese in Serie A and 3-1 at home against Empoli in the Coppa Italia. 

Gennaro Gattuso’s side then crushed Fiorentina 6-0 with Lorenzo Insigne bagging a brace and Diego Demme, Hirving Lozano, Piotr Zielinski and Matteo Politano all on target.

Napoli lost 2-0 against Juventus in the Italian Super Cup. Insigne missed a chance to equalise from the penalty spot in the closing stages which proved costly.

Napoli’s last match was a 3-1 defeat at Hellas Verona. Lozano opened the scoring in the 1st minute, but once again they let the lead slip and can have no complaints with the loss.

Napoli Team News


Right back Kévin Malcuit is battling calf problems and midfielder Fabián Ruiz is doubtful after testing positive for corona virus.

Dries Mertens has come off the bench in three straight games and could start here.

Striker Victor Osimhen came off the bench after a recent shoulder injury and could also start.

Spezia Form


Spezia were in poor form in Serie A, failing to win in December and losing five of six matches. They bounced back with a 2-1 at Napoli, a big win after going a goal and a man down.

Vincenzo Italiano’s side then won 2-1 at home against Sampdoria with Claudio Terzi and M'Bala Nzola on target. The Little Eagles drew 0-0 at Torino after Luca Vignali was sent off in the 8th minute.

Spezia produced a big upset in the Coppa Italia after winning 4-2 at Roma. They took a 2-0 lead, let it slip but scored twice in extra time against 9 men.

Spezia’s last match was another thriller at Roma, this time a 4-3 defeat in Serie A. Daniele Verde made it 3-3 in the 90th minute but they conceded a minute later which will have infuriated Italiano.

Spezia Team News


Goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet is out with a groin injury. 

Centre back Elio Capradossi is out alongside full backs Federico Mattiello and Salva Ferrer.

Attacking midfielder Riccardo Saponara is doubtful. 

Top scorer M'Bala Nzola has missed the last three matches with ankle problem.

Head to Head


Napoli have a 5-4 advantage against Spezia with 4 draws in 13 matches. 

Napoli had won 3-1 in consecutive home matches before a shock defeat three weeks ago. Napoli were 1-0 up at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona before letting it slip in a 2-1 defeat.
