Six games into the Serie A campaign, Venezia seek their first points of the season against Massimiliano Allegri's Napoli.
Venezia sit 20th in the table on 0 points after 6 games following a difficult opening stretch. The Lagunari have lost each of their last five matches, falling 0-2 at home to Lazio last time out after high-scoring defeats against Fiorentina (2-4) and Frosinone (2-3). Still finding their feet in the top flight, they require an immediate response at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo.
Napoli travel north sitting 8th on 10 points after 6 games under head coach Massimiliano Allegri. The Partenopei carry positive momentum into the fixture, unbeaten in their last three outings after securing a 3-0 home victory over Frosinone and a 1-1 draw away at Fiorentina, having previously edged Bologna 1-0.
