2022/23 Italian Serie A
Matchday 30
SSC Napoli v Hellas Verona
Stadio Diego Armando Maradona
Naples, Italy
Saturday, 15 April 2023
Kick-off is at 18h00
SSC Napoli will square off with Hellas Verona in an
Italian Serie A match at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on April 15.
Current Form
The Little Donkey emerged as 2-1 winners over US Lecce away on April 7 and it was their second win in their last three league games.
Napoli have lost two of their last three matches at home, while the other game ended in a win over Atalanta BC at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
While Verona secured a 2-1 win over US Sassuolo at home as they snapped their six-match winless run in Serie A.
The Yellow and Blues are winless in their last 15 matches on the road having recorded nine defeats and six draws as the visitors.
What Is At Stake
Napoli are still sitting pretty at the top of the league standings, but they are now 16 points clear of second-placed Lazio with nine matches left.
Luciano Spalletti's side will be looking to take a step towards clinching the championship by defeating Verona who are in a relegation scrap.
Verona are placed 18th on the league standings and a win over Napoli would see the Yellow and Blues boost their ambitions of avoiding relegation this term.
Team News
Victor Osimhen is the only player on Napoli's injury list at the moment having suffered a tear in the abductor muscle, while Tanguy Ndombélé is suspended.
Verona players Thomas Henry, Ajdin Hrustic, Diego Coppola, Darko Lazović and Milan Djuric are currently injured, but the club has no suspension concerns.
Key Players
With Osimhen missing, the Little Donkeys will look to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who has recorded the most assists (10) in the Serie A this season.
On the other hand, Adolfo Gaich, who grabbed a late winning goal against Sassuolo, will be determined to inspire Verona to another win.

Quotes
“I am fortunate to be dealing with players who know how to evaluate their behaviour as the games tick by. The captain's armband really helped give even more responsibility to Di Lorenzo," Spalletti said after their clash with Lecce.
"And it's wonderful to see the way he behaves, both on the field and in the locker room. Only fortunate coaches have that at their disposal and he deserves all the best.
"The Stadio Via del Mare is a difficult place to play in and Lecce had good results against all the big clubs, as they are well-organised and give their best in important situations," he continued.
“I told Marco Baroni that we know his team now and it's not easy to bring home points. We also had a few players not fully fit, so this is a result that gives us a sense of calm to prepare for the next games."
Head-to-Head
Napoli claimed a 5-2 win over Verona in their last meeting in the league which was on 15 August 2022 at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.
As a result, the Little Donkeys are undefeated in their last four league games against the Yellow and Blues having recorded two wins and two draws.
