Lecce - Napoli predictions

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 7.13 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for Lecce to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

A trip to Lecce can hardly be seen as a big test for Napoli. With 1.48 betting odds stacked in their favour, it’s hard seeing past anything other than a compelling away win here.

The hosts are coming off from a narrow away defeat Udinese from the previous Serie A fixture. They were never able to put up a real fight as they fell behind in the first 45 minutes and never got a chance to catch up despite the minimum goal deficit.

Napoli are coming on the back of a decisive 3:1 victory in the previous round’s home game, which can be considered a major upset of what most bookies expected. The odds on them winning were at 2.23, yet they led the proceedings throughout – and the goal difference was not negligible, either.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare this Tuesday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

Napoli recorded 8 goals in all 3 of their latest home games. While they don’t have the home-field advantage in this match, an action-packed match seems very likely.

The hosts are off to a shaky start this season. Placing 16th in the standings is nothing to write home about, though it’s way too early to panic. That said, their odds of earning even a single point this Tuesday are not looking great.

Napoli are off to a great start to the Serie A season. They are top of the ladder with 18 points after 9 matches and have every right to hope they will maintain their lead after the Tuesday game.

We can look forward to an exciting game as both teams have their full lineups available, thanks to no suspensions or injuries.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.02 odds offered at Pncl.
