The giants from Naples, also reigning champions, had a disappointing season before last. However, after Conte took over as coach, he managed to win a new title on his first attempt. This season, they’ve also added the Super Cup, but there are problems in other competitions. Especially in the Champions League, where there is a threat of not making the playoffs. In the cup, they only passed Cagliari after a lengthy penalty shootout. Still, in Serie A, they have managed to remain among the main contenders for the title. But now, they’ve drawn three times in a row, not only with Inter, but also with Verona and Parma.
The team from “Mapei – Città del Tricolore” spent last season in Serie B, but managed to become leaders there by a large margin. Now, they are steadily picking up points at the regained level. However, they’ve dropped off recently, losing “to nil” against Juventus and Roma.
The reigning champions are currently scoring about 1.5 goals per game, conceding half as many—0.85. The Serie A newcomer has almost even stats: 1.15 scored per match and 1.35 conceded.
