Reeling squad Chievo (3-2-3, 12 points) will try to get back their winning form against the hottest team of the 2015-2016 Serie A season to date, Napoli (4-1-3, 15 points), at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi on October 25, Sunday.
I Mussi Volanti had been struggling as of the moment, winning only once in their last six matches. Their last game was an upsetting 2-3 loss to middling club Genoa at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris last Sunday, as per SkySports.
Gialloblu got a goal each from striker Alberto Paloschi and team captain Sergio Pellissier, but they still couldn't pull off the win even when I Rossoblu was a man down in the second half of play after Genoa midfielder Blerim Džemaili was sent off at the 54th minute.
The game was tied at 2-2 when Greek winger Panagiotis Tachtsidis scored the winner in injury time to take away the point for Chievo.
Meanwhile, Napoli is currently unbeaten in their last six games and had won three straight so far. They look to extend their winning streak to four against Rolando Maran's boys this Sunday and will again look to Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuaín to lead them in scoring.
Gli Azzurri outpointed league leader Fiorentina in their last game at the Stadio San Paolo last Sunday with one goal apiece from Lorenzo Insigne and Higuaín, as per ESPN.
With Maurizio Sarri's strikers firing in all cylinders in their past couple of games, it looks like a blowout win over Chievo is inevitable in this matchup.
The prediction is a 4-2 romp for Napoli.
Chievo starting lineup (4-3-1-2 formation): Bizzarri; Mattiello, Gamberini, Cesar, Gobbi; Castro, Rigoni, Hetemaj; Birsa; Meggiorini, Paloschi
Napoli starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Reina; Soderlund, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Allan, Jorginho, Hamsik; Callejon, Higuaín, Insigne
