Napoli closed the Serie A competition which was temporarily suspended due to the 2022 World Cup title in Qatar with a 3-2 win over Udinese on November 12. The three winning goals for the hosts were scored by Victor Osimhen, Piotr Zieliński and Elif Elmas respectively.
Thanks to the additional three points, Napoli strengthened its position at the top of the Serie A standings with 41 points. The Partenopei are still 8 points ahead of AC Milan which is right below them, 10 points from Juventus and 11 points from Lazio. All are in the top four standings.
The tactician, Luciano Spalletti this time showed his ability to improve the performance of the Napoli squad. Evidently, Napoli have never lost in Serie A from 15 matches (13 wins, 2 draws). And what’s more, Napoli won Group A in the Champions League with 15 points, without losing, just like Liverpool. They also qualified for the knockout stage of the last 16.
On the other hand, Lille OSC is still stuck in 7th place in the Ligue 1 ranking list, France. Les Dogues are 15 points adrift of PSG, who are leading the standings for the last 15 matches. Lille last recorded a 1-0 victory over Angers on November 13, before the competition was closed due to the 2022 World Cup.
In order to improve the player’s performance, Paulo Fonseca invited his troops to take part in a friendly match. From the previous four matches, Lille performed well with three wins and one draw. Finally, Lille won 0-2 over Cambuur at the Pinatar Arena Football Center.
Lille will end the trial match later this year by facing the strongest Serie A team at the moment, Napoli. The two teams have never met each other before, but Napoli, who is in top form, remains the favourite.
After tonight’s match, Napoli will face Inter Milan in Serie A on January 5. Meanwhile, Lille will travel to Clermont Foot’s headquarters at the Stade Gabriel Montpied on December 28.
