Serie A Preview: Napoli vs Cremonese – Team News, Lineups & Prediction

Indeed, the reigning champions trail runaway leaders Inter by a whopping 12 points, with only five games left until the end of the season. Anything other than a victory here would allow the Nerazzurri to lift the trophy on Sunday. Nevertheless, it’s likely to only postpone the inevitable.

Napoli will still look to return to winning ways after going winless in two consecutive league outings, including a frustrating 2-0 home defeat to mid-table strugglers Lazio last weekend. On the other hand, Cremonese sit narrowly clear of the bottom three despite picking up just a single point from their last three league games, courtesy of a scoreless home draw against Torino. Marco Giamapolo’s charges head into proceedings level on points with 18th-placed Lecce but are ahead by virtue of a superior head-to-head record.

Needless to say, a defeat in Naples would enable the Giallorossi to overtake them in the standings, especially considering they face relegation-bound Hellas Verona tomorrow. With that in mind, the visitors will be keen to defy the odds tonight and keep their faltering pursuit of Serie A survival alive. Match Preview Napoli In addition to shattering Napoli’s unbeaten home league record this season (W11, D4), Lazio have exposed the Partenopei to the risk of losing back-to-back Serie A matches for the first time since December 2023.

However, Conte’s men have recently reigned supreme in this fixture. December’s comfortable 2-0 triumph at Stadio Giovanni Zini extended their winning streak against Cremonese to four matches in all competitions. Furthermore, Napoli emerged victorious from the last three league meetings between the sides, with each victory coming by multi-goal margins.
