JAKARTA - Napoli will close in 2024 by hosting Venezia at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Sunday 29 December. The Partenopei, which is struggling to reclaim the Serie A title, faces a challenge from Venezia trying to get out of the relegation zone.

Napoli entered this match with high confidence after recording an away victory over Genoa before Christmas. Goals from Amir Rrahmani and Frank Anguissa brought Napoli to three points, extending their unbeaten streak in Serie A's away game to eight matches.

Under the leadership of Antonio Conte, Napoli showed impressive performance in the first half of the season, although they were still two points behind leaders Atalanta BC. However, the defeat to Atalanta and Lazio in recent home games shows a weakness at Stadio Maradona.

Meanwhile, Jay Idzes et al. came to Napoli with high motivation after defeating Cagliari in an important game before Christmas. However, their poor record of away matches - 16 winless matches in Serie A - is a big challenge that EUebio Di Francesco's men must overcome.

Napoli will be strengthened again by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who recovered from a knee injury. He is expected to enter the starting XI, replacing David Neres or Matteo Politano. Romelu Lukaku, who is in good form with eight goal contributions in the last seven games against promoted teams, will be the mainstay on the front lines.

Venezia is still without Michael Svoboda (ACL), Alfred Duncan (betis), Richie Sagrado, and Antonio Raimondo (both thigh injuries). Eusebio Di Francesco is likely to retain the same line of players after the victory against Cagliari, with Joel Pohjanpalo leading the attack line.

With Napoli's side of history and the strength of the superior squad, the Partenopei are predicted to win and strengthen their position in the Serie A title race. Venezia is likely to have difficulty dealing with the intensity of the hosts' game at Stadio Maradona.

But in this match Jay Idzes Napoli defender will play beautifully to show his best performance after being attracted by many of Italy's top clubs.

Napoli (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay; Neres, Lukaku, Kvaratskhelia

Venezia (3-4-2-1): Stankovic; Altare, Idzes, Sverko; Zanambao, Andersen, Nicolussi Caviglia, Ellertsson; Oristanio, Busio; Pohjanpalo

Prediction score: Napoli 3-1 Venezia
