The team from Naples, under Conte’s guidance, managed to win the “scudetto” at the first attempt. Now they have added another trophy, the Super Cup. However, their Champions League start was far from ideal – only seven points so far. In the cup, they barely squeezed past modest Cagliari after a long penalty shootout. And in Serie A, there have already been quite a few setbacks – but their rivals are also dropping points. Against Verona, they finished 2-2, and repeated the same scoreline with Inter.
The club from “Ennio Tardini,” after a prolonged absence, returned to Italy’s top division in 2024. They collected just 36 points, but that was enough to finish relatively high – in sixteenth place. Now they are doing a bit better, at least averaging more than one point per round. The 2-1 win over Lecce in the last round was especially important.
The champion scores an average of 1.58 goals per match, conceding 0.89. Carlos Cuesta’s side has almost the opposite stats: 0.74 goals scored on average and 1.16 conceded.
