Napoli vs Parma Predictions: Point Apiece With Napoli a Team in Transition
Dominant Down the Years
Napoli have almost always had the better of Parma in head-to-head clashes, winning 14 of their 25 Serie A encounters and losing just six.
Parma managed to win twice in a row against Napoli between 2002 and 2004, but the Partenopei have dominated the fixture more recently, winning the last four meetings with an aggregate score of 10-1.
Napoli a Team in Transition
Napoli have not been at their best this season and currently sit eighth in the Serie A standings, 18 points behind leaders AC Milan.
The Partenopei have won just one of their last five league games and have been struggling for consistency all season long.
New coach Luciano Spalletti has not yet been able to get the best out of his squad, and Napoli are in desperate need of a positive result against Parma.
Parma Looking to Impress
Parma, meanwhile, are 14th in the Serie A standings, nine points clear of the relegation zone.
The Gialloblu have won two of their last three league games and will be confident of getting a result against Napoli.
Parma have a good record against Napoli in recent years and will be looking to extend their unbeaten run against the Partenopei to five games.
Prediction
This is a tough match to call, but I think Napoli will just edge it.
The Partenopei have a better squad on paper and will be playing at home.
However, Parma are in good form and will be confident of getting a result.
