Napoli Team News
Napoli just barely managed to confirm their major win against Inter with a 0-1 at Lecce, to retain the top spot on the Serie A league table, tied at 21 points with Roma but with a better goal difference. Schedule continues to be this easy, with Como coming up next, and Eintracht will visit Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Tuesday. Napoli isn't doing too well in the Champions League with a 1-0-2 record, so wins in both of these fixtures are all but mandatory to keep the momentum going.
And important thing to note is that Napoli won all its winnable matches so far, and lost all matches against stronger opponents except for the one against Inter.
Como Team News
It's important to know in which situation does a certain team perform. For Como it's very clear -- they do well when they're at home against a big favourite. They let the opponent have possession, sit back, and then counter attack the open space as they have fluent passers and good dribblers. In football, it seems that clever sides that play like this do much better in the end than sides like Juventus that squeeze the opponent into their penalty box and then have no room themselves.
We can safely expect Como to fall back here and soak up pressure. They aren't yet at a level where they can dictate play against anyone, despite the tiki-taka tendencies. You need more than one good player for that.
Probable Lineups
Napoli (4-3-3): Milinkovic-Savic - Di Lorenzo, Juan Jesus, Buongiorno, Spinazzola - Anguissa, Gilmour, McTominay - Politano, Hojlund, Neres. Coach Conte.
Como (4-2-3-1): Butez - Posch, Kempf, Ramon, Vale - Perrone, Da Cunha - Kuhn, Paz, Jesus Rodriguez - Douvikas. Coach Fabregas.
The Betting Market
Napoli is a 4-0-0 at home and the price of 1.95 at Bet365 is higher than at most other bookmakers. So it's both a value bet and a very likely outcome.
Como has so far lost to Bologna on the road, won against Fiorentina and drawn against Atalanta and Parma. The goal difference for Como in all these four matches combined is 3-3, indicating that the price on Under 2.5 Goals of 1.67 is valuable too.
Both Teams To Score: YES is priced at 1.95, with the NO option being favoured at 1.80.
The Betting Verdict
All things considered, we think Napoli is taking this one to retain the #1 spot on the league table. The price is much better than expected - should be 1.60 or 1.70 at most if you rate Como already. But we think it's too soon to do that, this is a growing team and a growing club that will lose many more matches before they learn to win them. And with this Chinese wisdom we'll end this preview. Bet on Napoli to edge this one.
