(Football news) Napoli will look to bounce back from their 3-0 thrashing at Torino last weekend in the round of 20, but Inzaghi’s team remains dissatisfied following the events of the last minutes of their narrow 2-1 loss to Juventus in gameweek 19.
The Scudetto winners from last season have struggled to produce consistent performances under Mazzarri, as evidenced by last week’s devastating 3-0 loss to Torino. The managerial change has not helped Napoli much.
The Partenopei, who have now dropped four of their last six league games, started the New Year on a depressing note after that defeat, a 2-1 home victory over Cagliari
The only other league win Napoli has had under Mazzarri’s leadership came against Atalanta, and as a result of their inconsistent play from the previous season, they are currently ranked ninth in Serie A.
However, if the Azzurri continue to win, they will only be two points behind Lazio in sixth and five behind Fiorentina in fourth, so they have a chance to move up the table.
That is still to be seen with this group, particularly in light of the increasing number of injuries, suspensions, and absences resulting from overseas obligations.
As for Salernitana, Dusan Vlahovic scored a header in stoppage time during the second half to give Juventus a 2-1 victory at the cost of the Granata, meaning that Inzaghi’s club was unable to extend their winning run to three games.
