Napoli welcome unbeaten league leaders Lazio to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday 8 November 2026, with kick-off at 12:30 WAT, in a Serie A lunchtime showdown. The hosts have lost two matches in a row — 2-0 at Juventus and 4-1 at Porto in the Champions League — while Lazio arrive top of the table, unbeaten in 12 matches in all competitions and with five wins from five away league games this season.
This Napoli vs Lazio prediction pits a Napoli side that has lost both matches since Stanislav Lobotka’s injury, scoring 1 and conceding 6, against a Lazio team that has scored 24 goals in 10 league games and sits three points clear of Inter at the top. With Lazio having won their last four Serie A visits to Naples, the visitors look the value pick at the Maradona.
Napoli vs Lazio Match Preview / Betting Preview
Napoli’s recent slide is easy to trace: since Lobotka went down with an ankle injury, they have lost 2-0 at Juventus and 4-1 at Porto, scoring just once and conceding six. Lazio, by contrast, have won five straight league games, scoring 16 and conceding 5, and their perfect away record is the backbone of this Napoli vs Lazio prediction — even if Napoli’s home crowd and the early 12:30 WAT kick-off keep this from being a straightforward away win.
