The visiting team has not yet won this season (E3, P9) and their last victory in the league was in May of this year. It is at the bottom of the standings in several aspects – number of defeats (nine), goals scored (10), goals received (30) and goal difference (-20).
Chievohas only one point in away matches in the SA this season (E1, P4) and has also won only one away from home since October 2017 (G1, E4, P15), a period in which he has also received 2.25 goals per game on average.
Players to watch: Dries Mertens (NAP) has four goals and one assist in his last two home games in the SA, while Mariusz Stepinski (CHI) has three goals so far this season.
Statistics to consider: There have been more than 2.5 goals scored in 75% (nine) of the 12 Napoligames in the SA this season.
Chievo’s main problem is his inability to score before the 75th minute, since almost half (four) of his 10 goals have arrived in the last 15 minutes of the matches.
The current bottom of the SA has received the first goal in 11 of its 12 games in the SA this season and in more than half (seven) of those 12 games has been at a disadvantage at halftime.
