Verona vs. Napoli: No room for error

Verona vs. Napoli: No room for error

Verona hope to claw back to safety, while Napoli are aiming to turn things around after two consecutive games without a win.

A crucial showdown at the Bentegodi features Verona, who have only picked up three points in their last eleven matches and are coming off the back of two defeats. This Verona side will now look to close their nine-point gap to safety. On the other hand, Napoli are coming off a defeat to Atalanta and a draw with Roma. The Azzurri can no longer afford to drop points.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

There have been 44 official meetings in Verona between the two sides: Verona have won 14 (most recently 3–0 in Serie A 2024/25), there have been 11 draws (most recently 1–1 in Serie B 2003/04) and Napoli have won 19 (most recently 3–1 away in Serie A 2023/24).

There has been no draw in Verona between the teams since the 1–1 Serie B match on 23 September 2003 (goals by Myrtaj from the spot and Tosto). Since then, across 11 meetings, Verona have won three and Napoli eight.

Verona have recorded just one win in their last 10 matches against Napoli: the remaining record is five Napoli wins and four draws.

DID YOU KNOW?

Verona are among the teams with the fewest different goalscorers in Serie A 2025/26 (8).

Verona have gone 11 matchdays without a win (three draws and eight defeats). Their last victory was a 2–1 away win at Fiorentina on 14 December 2025. Their last home win was a 3–1 victory over Atalanta on 6 December 2025.

Verona are the team that have dropped the most points in second halves compared with the half-time score (–12) in Serie A 2025/26.

Verona are one of four Serie A teams yet to benefit from any opposition red cards, along with Milan, Lecce and Torino.

Verona are the team that have conceded the most goals in the final 15 minutes (stoppage time included) in Serie A 2025/26 (15).

Napoli are coming off three straight Serie A matches in which they conceded at least two goals — something that had not happened since March–April 2024 (Napoli–Atalanta 0–3, Monza–Napoli 2–4, Napoli–Frosinone 2–2). It had not happened to a team coached by Antonio Conte in Serie A since January 2021, when he was in charge of Inter (Inter–Crotone 6–2, Sampdoria–Inter 2–1, Roma–Inter 2–2).

Napoli are the team that have conceded the most penalties in Serie A 2025/26 (8).

COACHES and PLAYERS

It will be the first official meeting between Paolo Sammarco and Antonio Conte.

Ali Al-Musrati was sent off against Sassuolo: it was the third red card received by a Verona player in the league this season. His previous career dismissal dates back to 12 February 2025, in Monaco–Benfica 1–2 in the Champions League, when he was playing for the French side.

Sam Beukema scored against Atalanta: it was the Dutch defender’s second league goal of the season. He had not scored since 13 September 2025, in Fiorentina–Napoli 0–3.
