Napoli host Lecce in the final game of the Serie A season, both have little to play for in terms of the bigger picture, but could still move up or down a couple of places in the standings, depending on their results here and the results of teams around them. They take each other on in the final day, and I've got a fancy for the game.
Napoli Form GuideCurrently sitting in 10th in the standings as we head into the final weekend of the season, the good news for Napoli is that they cannot drop any further, so will finish in the top half of the table. That could be as high as 8th, depending on this result, and others around them.
Of course, the bigger picture here is that on the back of a title winning season last season, this has been a really disappointing result for Napoli, who were expected to go much better. They are without a win from their last six league games now, with four draws and two losses, which is why they've slipped to 10th. Last weekend, they drew 2-2 away from home against Fiorentina.
Lecce Form GuideIt's not been anything special from Lecce in recent weeks, but they've done enough to survive and know that regardless of what happens on the final day, they will be playing Serie A football next season. They are without a win from their last four, two losses and two draws, but that has been enough.
They lost at the weekend, a 2-0 defeat at home to Atalanta, who are up in the top part of the table. Before that, another defeat, and again it was 2-0, this time against Udinese towards the bottom of the table.
Match PredictionI like Napoli here. Yes, they've not been anywhere near their best in recent weeks, but now Lecce are over the line, they've also been struggling, and come here on the back of two losses in their last two games. I'll take Napoli to win at home on the final day.
