Betting tips for Lazio vs Napoli 18.08.2018

The Olympic Stadium in Rome welcomes the 2018-19 season with the match between Lazial team and Carlo Ancelotti's Napoli, two of the teams called to compete for the title against Juventus, AS Roma, Inter Milan and AC Milan.

Lazio played an extraordinary 17-18 season, led by Simone Inzaghi on the bench, and with Serbian player Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as the star player. The goals of Ciro Immobile and the great season of the Andalusian Luis Alberto promoted the Romans to the highest positions of the table, but the lack of bench condemned them both in the league and in Europe.

The team has entered more than 38 million euros with the sale of Felipe Anderson to West Ham English. With that money, the laziales have incorporated 7 players: the former Sevilla player Joaquín Correa, the central one of Sassuolo Francesco Acerbi, the Kosovo midfielder Valon Berisha, the Danish side of Real Betis Riza Durmisi, the far right Mattia Sprocati, the Belgian goalkeeper Silvio Proto and the Croatian pivot Milan Badelj, who arrives free from Fiorentina.

In pre-season, Lazio won against Triestina Calcio and fell to Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund. They lose the match Jordan Lukaku, Senad Lulic, Lucas Leiva and Patric, all of them injured, plus the suspended Alessandro Murgia.

 The Naples closed the stage of Maurizio Sarri, signing Carlo Ancelotti as the new coach. The partenopeos will have a budget of 490 million euros, and they have also received 91 million more for the sales of Jorginho to Chelsea for 57 million, from Duván Zapata to Sampdoria for 17 million, and from Leonardo Pavoletti to Cagliari for 10 million more. The Andalusian Fabián Ruíz arrives in San Paolo in exchange for 30 million; the extreme Simone Verdi, who arrives from Bologna; right-back Kevin Lacuit, coming from Lille, Brazilian striker Vinicius Morais, and also, at zero cost, the Ajax winger Amin Younes, the Italian Amato Ciciretti, and the goalkeepers Orestis Karnezis and Alex Meret, both on loan from Udinese .

In pre-season, the Neapolitan team won their first two clashes against Carpi (5-1) and Chievo (2-0), being thrashed by Liverpool (5-0). In Germany, Borussia Dortmund was measured (1-3 for the Italians) and fell in Wolfsburg (3-1).

They miss the game Faouzi Ghoulam, goalkeeper Alex Meret and former Ajax, Amin Younes, all of them injured.



The Naples dominates the last precedents, with 5 wins and a draw in the last 6 games. However, the changes in the Neapolitans make it the locals who leave with advantage to maintain the block and know what the coach wants. I hope for a great game, with goals and options for both teams. The forecast is that there will be more than 3.5 goals in this season's debut at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
