At 1.00 a.m. Beijing time on November 8, the 12th round of Serie A began. Napoli, played at home, takes on the visiting Verona. Both teams have been in excellent form recently, the home team Napoli is currently leading the table with 31 points, and the away team Verona is suddenly emerging, I believe this game is full of highlights!
Home team: Napoli, as a strong team in Serie A, also made great strides last season, once reaching the top three, but unfortunately only took one point in the last round of the tournament, and finally ranked 5th in Serie A, 1 point behind Juve, and could only participate in Europa League. The new season the team continues the outstanding performance of last season, and currently has 10 wins and 1 draw after 11 rounds of the league, scoring 23 goals and conceding 3 goals, accumulating 31 points to rank first in the league with a goal difference advantage. In the Europa League, the team is also exceptionally brilliant, scoring 11 goals and conceding 6 goals after 4 rounds of the group, accumulating 7 points to temporarily rank first in the group, and the qualifying situation is bright. In terms of the current performance of the team, both on the offensive and defensive ends, in the Serie A and Europa League, it is extremely good. The offensive partner Osmaine and Lozano, led by Insigne, can be described as full of firepower. The team's 23 league goals scored by as many as 10 players respectively, which can be described as a multi-point blossom. The 22-year-old is particularly prominent, scoring nine goals in 11 appearances and being the team's top scorer. Of all the playing teams in Serie A, of course, the most enviable is Napoli's excellent defensive end. With a number of big players such as Koulibaly, Rui, Rahmani and Di Lorenzo, these players have made the team's backline solid. At present, only 3 points have been conceded in the 11 rounds of the league, and such a defense is also the only one in Serie A.
Away team: Verona, as a middle-class team in Serie A, has been in the middle of Serie A for many years, and last season was also ranked 10th in Serie A. The new season has also made some personnel adjustments, the most notable of which is the arrival of new coach Di Francesco in this summer's transfer period, he helped Sassuolo upgrade to Serie A and coached Serie A giants Roma. The changes in the players are mainly focused on the offensive end, from Cagliari to striker Simeone and Benevento to Striker Caprari. Forward Simeone has been particularly good, scoring six goals in eight appearances and has become the team's main force. At present, the team has won 4, drawn 3 and lost 4 times after 11 rounds, scoring 24 goals and conceding 20 goals, ranking 9th in the league with 15 points. In the last round, the team beat Serie A team Juve 2:1 at home, and only lost 2-3 away to Ac Milan in the last 8 Serie A matches. The team has a tough style of play, no matter the strength of the team can play a big game, especially the recent excellent performance on the offensive end, obviously has the potential of a dark horse.
Analysis: The two teams have met in the past three times, the home team Napoli 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss, scoring 4 goals and conceding 4 goals, basically equal. Napoli is a two-sided battle, physical fitness is a major disadvantage, but the overall strength is stronger than Verona. The away team has been in hot form recently and morale is high. Combined with the recent excellent performance of the two teams and the direction of the institution, it is more inclined that the two teams can play a big score!
