Napoli vs Chievo Preview
Napoli will have been majorly disappointed to have only drawn last weekend away to Sassuolo. This 1-1 result was a major blow to their Serie A title hopes, and it has now left the club from Naples 4 points behind league leaders and defending champions Juventus.
Raul Albiol and Jorginho are suspended for the hosts which is a big blow. They will need to be replaced in the Napoli starting XI, with Vlad Chiriches and Amadou Diawara set to come into the team in their absence.
Chievo are fairly comfortable in mid table at the moment and it would take a monumental collapse for them to be dragged into the relegation fight at the bottom of the league. Currently 14th with 29 points, they are 5 points clear of the relegation zone right now.
Nenad Tomovic is back from suspension for the visitors but now Fabrizio Cacciatore is banned which will be a problem. Pawel Jaroszynski and Dario Dainelli are also missing for Chievo through injury.

Napoli vs Chievo Prediction
Napoli unexpectedly dropped points last week and it may have all but ended their title hopes. This will be a major disappointment as they were actually top of the Serie A table for large portions of the season.
Chievo had struggles against Sassuolo in midweek too, conceding a 95th-minute equaliser against a side that finished the game with nine men. That being said, they are unbeaten in two after coming off the back of a three-game losing streak.
Napoli have failed to win in three of their last four Serie A games and they really need to win their remaining 8 Serie A games to have any chance to catching Juventus at the top. It’s unlikely but they need to keep going in case Juve do slip up.
Chievo have lost their last 8 away matches in Serie A and we are expecting that to stretch to 9 in a row.
