Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-0
Parma
After suffering a 3-1 loss to Verona in the “City of Love”, Napoli will be looking to start a new winning run in the Serie A when they welcome Parma at their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Matchday 20. The Neapolitans have recorded five wins at home ground so far this term, and they are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s football game. Fabian Ruiz has been tested positive for coronavirus, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Gli Emiliani, on the other hand, are eyeing their first league win since November 30, 2020. Parma failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Sampdoria at the weekend, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Napoli’s party at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Roberto D’Aversa can’t count on the likes of Nicolussi Caviglia, Bruno Alves, Osorio, Laurini, Karamoh, Balogh, and Valenti for the Napoli game.
