Napoli vs Spal 24.07.2023

Serie A champions Napoli will look to ramp up preparations for the defence of their title when they face off with Serie C outfit Spal on Monday. The champs were in a class of their own in the Italian top flight as they kicked off the season with a bang and never looked back, easing through the finish line with several matches to spare. They will certainly face a much stiffer competition this time with their competitors looking to strengthen their squads this off-season to match up with them. For Napoli, the key is to fend off other top clubs across Europe that have been salivating over their key players, particularly striker Victor Osimhen. It remains to be seen if they will keep the title-winning squad intact but they will also look to shore up the squad in some areas.

Unlike Napoli, Spal were on the opposite spectrum in Serie B. They had an awful season in Serie B and were relegated to Serie C. They are now looking to start life in the lower division and try to work their way back. For them, this is nothing short of a complete rebuild as they are going to lose most of their key players and they will just open a new page in Serie C. This match offers them a great chance to compete with the best of the best.

There is a gulf in class and quality between these two sides. Even with Napoli not expected to field all their starters, this should still be a walk in the park for them. They will be keen to kickstart their off-season with a morale-boosting win. We are therefore backing them to dominate this encounter from start to finish and we fancy a bucketload of goals too.
