It's tough to back anyone but the league leaders in matches like this, especially when they sit so far ahead of the rest of the pack and all but have the Serie A title in the bag. Napoli are riding a six-match winning streak in league play, but that moves to seven across all competitions when you consider their recent 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in Champions League play.

Lazio haven't been able to log a win over Napoli since December of 2020, losing all four matches against the two-time Serie A champions. Striker Victor Osimhen is having a banner season with Napoli, notching a career-high 19 goals through just 20 matches so far during this campaign. Eight of those goals have come in his last seven outings, as he's scored in every single match during that stretch. With 14 matches left to play, he leads the league in scoring and will have his eye on the single-season record of 36 goals set by Ciro Immobile back in 2019-20.

Take the home side to get a comfortable win here as they continue their run of impressive form in Serie A play.
