Lazio v Napoli Betting: Strong attacks to keep flourishing in Rome

Fourth plays second tonight in Italy as Lazio welcome Napoli to the capital.

The visitors have started the season in stellar form, winning all four of their games and scoring a huge 15 times in the process, conceding just twice.

However, fourth-placed Lazio provide a first real challenge of the season for Maurizio Sarri’s men, and the visitors are priced at 21/20 (2.05) with dabblebet to overcome the Biancazzurri.

Striker Dries Mertens is one of the main reasons that Napoli are so dangerous going forward, with the Belgium international hitting five goals in four games this season as he looks to build upon his 28-goal return last campaign.

The 30-year-old has only ever scored once against Lazio, way back in 2014, but as his side’s main goal threat he can be backed in at 7/2 (4.50) to net first, or 10/11 (1.91) to register anytime.

A 0-0 draw against newly-promoted SPAL on opening day aside, Lazio are in equally as good form and are still riding the high of hammering title-chasing AC Milan 4-1 just 10 days ago.

Simone Inzaghi’s side, who have yet to find themselves behind this season, are priced at 5/2 (3.50) to win at home, whilst the draw is 13/5 (3.60).

Goals are coming thick and fast for Ciro Immobile, too, who has scored six times in four Serie A matches, and he is 5/1 (6.0) for the first goal or can be backed at 13/10 (2.30) for a goal in 90 minutes.

This match may be too close to call in terms of finding a winner, therefore value may lie in goals - unsurprising for two teams who have netted 24 times between them this term.

Both teams to score is quoted by dabblebet at 4/9 (1.44), but for more appealing odds then four goals or more to go in is out at 13/10 (2.30) – a bet that would have landed in three of Napoli’s four games this season and two of Lazio’s.
