Gialloblu's return to home comforts following a 1-0 loss away to Bologna this past weekend. Defeat for Verona ended in a three-game unbeaten run in the league and halted their march up the league standings.
 
Gli Azzurri romped to a back-to-back wins in the league with a 6-0 thumping of Fiorentina. Victory moved Napoli level on 34 points with Roma and kept them nine points behind Serie A leaders AC Milan 

“It looked like an easy game, but it was not easy. [David] Ospina made a great save when we were one goal up,” Napoli head coach Gennaro Gattuso told DAZN.

“The turning point was [Lorenzo] Insigne’s assist, they lost some wickedness after that. We converted every opportunity we created. We conceded some goal chances, but it was a great performance.

“It’s not easy to remain focused when you win 4-0 at half time. That’s why I raised my voice in the second half. We made so many mistakes in home games this season, we’ve reached Roma in the table, we cared so much about this game.”
