Napoli - Como predictions

By pricing a home win at around 1.91, the bookies made it clear that Napoli are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.63 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Napoli entered their previous league bout as the favourites but failed to gain the upper hand for more than half the match. They were playing away, though, and managed to finally pull ahead later in the game, ultimately recording a narrow but satisfying 0:1 victory.

With a home-field advantage on their side and largely favourable betting odds, Como were expected to easily win their previous Serie A match against Hellas Verona. They indeed won 3:1, but not before failing to gain the upper hand for more than half the game’s runtime.

Napoli’s attackers don’t seem to need a home-field advantage when it comes to scoring. With 8 goals in their last three away games, it’s hard to find issues with their attacking play.

Como and their strikers are well-regarded by experts and bookies alike – they managed to score more than 5 times in their previous 3 home games.

The home will have to tackle a lot of challenges to keep their lead in the standings, though this match is not likely to be one.

This Serie A season is still in its early stages, but Como have had some successes already. Their current placement would eventually get them to the Europa League. However, keeping that table position will be a huge challenge - they’re the underdogs in this upcoming match, and it’s only one of many that remain to be played.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory Napoli secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.25 with 888Sport, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
