Napoli v Palermo
15:00
Napoli were impressive 1-2 winners at Milan last weekend to remain in 3rd and within four points of Juve at the top. They should face a much easier task this week as they host Palermo, who are down in 19th and have lost 12 of their last 14. Indeed, they’re 11 points from safety as the bottom-three in Serie A are some way adrift of the rest of the division.
After a poor spell that saw them win just one of four home games, Napoli have gotten back on track at the Stadio San Paolo, winning their last four there, although they remain vulnerable defensively as they’ve kept only one clean sheet in their last six at home. Indeed, with two of their back four at the African Cup of Nations, we expect them to continue to struggle at the back.
Palermo have lost six of their last seven on the road but they have managed to find the net in all but one of their away games this term as they’ve netted at Inter, Atalanta, Roma and Fiorentina. Indeed, since Napoli’s last four wins have come despite conceding, we’re backing Napoli to win and both teams to score.
Recommendation: Napoli to Win and Both Teams to Score at 2.63
