Prediction

Hellas Verona are still without a win and tied with Carpi at the bottom of the table. Andrea Mandorlini has been given even more time than expected given Italian standards for coaches, and after the international break he is expected to provide solutions.
Napoli dropped a couple of points two rounds back, but then managed to get the full prize at home against Udinese. The Partenopei may now struggle a bit more as Italy enters winter given their playing style.
The visitors could be unbalanced towards technique rather than physical presence, which could give them some trouble in the colder season. That said, Verona should be the easiest opponent to face at the moment, but their hunger should not be underestimated.
