Lazio and Napoli are coming to the close of the season in opposite moods. Napoli will probably finish at 8th place which will give them Intertoto Cup promotion. It is not positive if they will start in that competition as their sports director Marino told that they will have to think about it and that they will have to see if their players are ready to start the season earlier. It is obvious that playing in Intertoto would make them problems during preseason period and that it would probably ruin their chances for next season. Lazio will finish in the mid table and will be without European football next year. They lost in Coppa Italia also, and for them this season is complete failure. They paid the price for their short bench and Champions League took a lot of strength from them. It is obvious that the squad will have lot of changes during the summer and it is not sure if Delio Rossi will be the one in the charge for next year.

Lazio without home win in last three games

After winning in the Derby of the Rome, it was expected that Biancoceleste will try to reach 7th place. Unfortunately for them, Rossi tried to gamble and lost. Before the Coppa Italia semifinals he rested key players in the league games and did not win in 5 games in the row. Last week they finally won at Genoa, but before that they have lost at home against Palermo, and took only a draw against Siena. Also, they lost heavily at Torino against Juventus. President Lotito was not satisfied with the results and the coach Rossi completely lost his trust. Lazio will try to win their last game in front of their fans, but no one around the club is happy with their results this year.

Napoli continued to impress against the big names

Napoli has impressive record at San Paolo against the big names. They won against Juventus, Inter, Milan and Fiorentina. Roma is the only team that won at Napoli. Therefore, the first season in Seria A after long exile will be remembered. President De Laurentis is happy and he promised to deliver 50 millions for new signings. Napoli can be serious contender next year if they keep Lavezzi and Hamsik and with a couple of new signings. It is not sure if Reja will stay, but he definitely deserved it. Club is waiting for his decision.

Betting verdict

We will risk with home win at 2.40. Napoli does not have the interest to play in Intertoto Cup and they won’t try to much to win this one. They always fail to deliver after impressing against the big names. Also, they had problems away. Lazio is without motivation, but since it is the last game in front of their fans, they will try to win for goodbye.

Team news : Pandev and De Silvestri are suspended for Lazio, several players are injured. Hamsik, Calaio and Santacroce are out for Napoli.
