In the ongoing competitive history between Verona and Napoli, the two teams have clashed a total of 44 times in Verona, with Napoli holding the upper hand in recent encounters. Verona has managed 14 wins, most recently a 3-0 victory in the 2024/25 Serie A season, while Napoli boasts 19 wins, including a 3-1 triumph in the 2023/24 Serie A. Since a 1-1 draw in September 2003 during the Serie B, every battle has seen a decisive outcome, with Verona claiming victory thrice and Napoli emerging as the winner on eight occasions.
Current form suggests turbulent times for Verona, who are struggling with just one win in their last ten matches against Napoli, which includes five wins for the Azzurri and four draws. This season, Verona has scored the fewest goals (eight) from different players in the 2025/26 Serie A, and they currently sit on an 11-match winless streak, marked by three draws and eight defeats. Their last victory came on December 14, 2025, against Florence, and they haven’t celebrated a home win since defeating Atalanta 3-1 on December 6, 2025.
Moreover, Verona is facing difficulties in maintaining leads, having lost the most points in the second half of games this season, accumulating a total of -12. Impressively, they are one of only four Serie A teams, alongside Milan, Lecce, and Torino, which have not benefited from a sending-off of an opposing player. Defensively, they have conceded the highest number of goals in the final 15 minutes of play this season, including stoppage time, with a total of 15 goals against.
Looking ahead, Saturday’s match marks the first competitive encounter between two prominent figures in Serie A, Paolo Sammarco and Antonio Conte. Challenges continue for Verona as Ali Al-Musrati recently received a red card against Sassuolo, marking the third such dismissal for a Verona player this season. Sam Beukema, a Dutch defender, found the net against Atalanta, scoring his second goal of the season, a significant improvement since his previous goal on September 13, 2025, in a match where Fiorentina faced Napoli.
This match promises an exciting encounter as both teams navigate their current trajectories, showcasing the unpredictability of Serie A. Supporters remain hopeful that Verona can turn their fortunes around in upcoming fixtures.
