Napoli vs Palermo
Italian Serie A, 20h30
These are two top ten teams, with Napoli 4th in the standings. Lavezzi and Santacroce will miss out for the Partenopei, which lost 3-0 at Juventus in midweeks Coppa Italia game. That was the first loss under new coach Mazzarri. Napoli are unbeaten in 12 Serie A games.
Palermo has some more injured players. While Liverani is extremely doubtful, Kjaer, Carozieri and Bresciano are definitely out.
The last 3 games between these two have finished with the same score, 2-1 for the hosts. The last win for Palermo away at Napoli goes back to 1952. Napoli has won its last 3 games in the Serie A without conceding. Goalscorer Marek Hamsik has scored in the each of the last three games against Napoli.
I tip Napoli to win, at 6/5.
