Napoli vs Palermo Prediction & Match Preview

Napoli vs Palermo Prediction

The Antonio Conte era at Napoli started on a less exciting note, as the team lost their opening fixture of the season for the first time in nine years. 

However, they quickly rebounded with a win against Bologna, ending an eight-match winless streak in Serie A that dated back to last season, and securing their first home victory since defeating Juventus in early March. 

Under Conte, the Partenopei have enjoyed three consecutive league victories before suffering a setback against Juventus, which prevented them from achieving back-to-back away wins in the league for the first time since November 2023.

Palermo, on the other hand, comes into this game on the back of losing their first two games in the second tier and have since struggled, scoring five goals after their 2-0 defeat to Pisa. 

For this cup encounter, Palermo advanced by defeating Parma 1-0, and Alessio Dionisi’s side will be looking to pull off an upset against a Napoli side who narrowly edged Modena 1-0 to book this tie.

Antonio Conte will be relying on the continued collaboration of new signing Romelu Lukaku and point man Kvaratskhelia, both of whom have contributed two goals and an assist, to help secure a victory and advance to the next round.

The last time these two teams faced each other was in 2017, which ended in a draw. Historical head-to-head statistics show that Napoli is favoured to win this matchup, having won three of the last five encounters, while Palermo’s last victory over Napoli dates back to 2015. 

At the Diego Maradona Stadium, Napoli remains unbeaten against Palermo in their last five meetings. With a Napoli win expected, we are making a bold choice to call this game to end 3-1 at 10 odds, meaning we expect Palermo to also get on the score sheet and under 8.5 corners in this match.
