Napoli vs Como — Tips & Analysis

Como +0.25: Como do not get beaten heavily. They have not lost by 2 or more goals in any of their last 17 games, and they have lost only 3 of them. That habit travels well into a game like this. Napoli are the better side and should have most of the ball at the Maradona. They score more than a goal a game and let in less than one, and they have won 9 of their last 15. Their 2-0 win at Genoa flattered them though. They created very little in that game and still came away with two goals. Napoli are also missing defenders Buongiorno and Marianucci, so the pairing in front of the goalkeeper is patched together. De Bruyne, their best creator, is expected to start on the bench again. Como arrive unbeaten in 5, with 3 wins and 2 ties, and they score almost 2 goals a game. This game has become a grind. The last three meetings finished 0-0, 1-1 and 0-0, and the last five averaged under 2 goals. A 1-1 is the most likely score again, and a tight night like that is exactly what we want. The risk is that Como were second best at Udinese and still got their 1-1, so they can be pushed back. Napoli only need one moment at home to break this open. We are still happy to take Como to keep it close.
