Despite being the best team in Italy this season, Napoli failed to win against Villareal in their previous friendly match.
Serie A leaders Napoli will take on LOSC Lille in a club friendly match on Thursday at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. It will be the team’s last friendly match before the Serie A season begins with a banger of a match against Inter Milan. Despite being the best team in Italy this season, Napoli failed to win against Villareal in their previous friendly match, losing 3-2 to the Spanish side at home. They did however have a fine performance in the previous match against Crystal Palace, which saw them run out as 3-1 victors.
LOSC Lille have been in better form than opponents of late. The Ligue 1 side is unbeaten in the last six matches, winning four. Their last couple of games ended in 2-0 victories, against Valladolid and Cambuur. The match against Napoli will be their final friendly before the season resumes in France with a match against Clermont Foot.
