Here, we look at Napoli stats, the history of the club, and other things that bettors should know about before doing any Napoli betting.
Napoli General Info
SSC Napoli is based in Naples, in the region of Campania, one of the country’s southernmost regions. When a home game comes up on the Napoli schedule, the club plays those matches at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, named after the legendary Argentine footballer. That venue holds over 54,000 fans and has been the site of the club’s Serie A matchups, along with their matches in European competition.
Napoli History
Napoli was founded as a club in 1926 as Associazione Calcio Napoli. They became SSC Napoli in the early 2000s, and they have bounced back and forth between Serie B, with a brief three-year period in Serie C in between.
However, the club has since stabilized itself in Serie A, achieving overwhelmingly positive Serie A betting stats since rejoining the league in 2007.
Napoli Records
Looking at Napoli stats from the club’s history, there are some huge names in the record books. For example, the all-time leader in appearances for the club is Marek Hamsik, who spent over a decade with the club from 2007 to 2019. He also scored 121 goals for the club, which ranks third all-time.
The all-time leading goal scorer for the club is Dries Mertens, who banged in 148 goals during his Napoli career from 2013 to 2022. The list of top scorers at Napoli also includes players such as Gonzalo Higuain, Edinson Cavani, and Lorenzo Insigne, as this club has had a star-studded list of players in the last two decades.
Championships Won by Napoli
Napoli has finished at the top of the Serie A standings twice in the club’s history, doing so in the 1986-87 season and the 1989-90 season. They have also lifted the Coppa Italia six times, with their most recent triumph in that competition coming in the 2019-20 season.
Historical Events
Napoli has enjoyed several elite-level achievements in their rise up the ladder in Italian and European football. The best of those achievements may have been their triumph in the UEFA Cup, now known as the Europa League. They won that tournament in the 1988-89 season, beating Juventus and Bayern Munich along the way to that title.
