Serie A
Matchday 27
Verona vs Napoli
Marcantonio Bentegodi
Verona, Italy
Saturday, 28 February 2026
Kick-off is at 19:00
After falling short in yet another Serie A fixture last time out, Napoli will hope to get back on track when they take on Verona at Marcantonio Bentegodi on Saturday.
Verona are currently rooted to the bottom of the table with 15 points from 26 matches after recording just two wins so far this season. Adding to their woes, Verona are nine points from safety as they face the serious threat of relegation.
Napoli, meanwhile, are third on the log after amassing 50 points from 26 games, 14 points away from log leaders Inter Milan.
Verona come into this fixture following a 3-0 defeat against Sassuolo, which was their second loss in succession. Napoli are likewise winless in their previous two league matches, following their 2-1 loss against Atalanta last time out.
The reigning Serie A champions have been a shadow of their former self as the month of March approaches, recording two wins, two losses and one draw in their last five.
Even worse for Verona, the Veneto side are on a run of four defeats and one draw in their previous handful of fixtures.

Napoli director Giovanni Manna blasted match officials after his side's 2-1 loss to Atalanta on Sunday and was livid at referee’s decision to chalk off their second goal.
"It is impossible to comment on this," Manna said.
"The penalty is revoked after VAR intervenes, but then there is no VAR check on the second incident. Where is the foul? It's embarrassing.
"We didn't complain in Turin or Verona because incidents can balance out. But this is not right. We are fighting for a Champions League place and we see a goal disallowed over nothing."
