NAPOLI v CHIEVO PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This is a match between the team playing at home that are second in the league and opponents third from the bottom of the table after eight matches. In those matches Napoli have won seven more points than Chievo so this match looks to be one of the home bankers of the weekend. Napoli’s matches have seen on average marginally more than 2.5 goals per game while games involving Chievo are averaging just about the same number. However, the numbers are slightly higher when only respective home and away matches are considered.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Napoli should be able to dominate possession in this match with most of the play taking place in the midfield or Chievo’s defensive area. As the home side and a far superior one at that Napoli should have a greater share of the ball and that can lead to at least one goal. Despite losing away to Juventus to two late goals in their last match Napoli kept the ball for more than 53% of the time but had just two shots on target. Edinson Cavani is Napoli’s top scorer and no player has scored more goals in Serie A this season. Chievo were dominated by Fiorentina in terms of possession in their last match but still drew. No player has scored more than two goals for Chievo this season.

NAPOLI - CHIEVO PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

On current form this is a match that Napoli should win and despite the low odds it would be unwise to ignore the obvious. Napoli will be playing for a Champions League spot this season while relegation cannot be discounted for Chievo. Napoli have an unblemished record at home with four wins from as many matches. They have the second best home record in the league, with only Juventus above them in that section of the table. Chievo have lost each of their three away matches and scored just one goal in that spell.

Back Napoli at 1.46 with Pinnacle Sports.

NAPOLI - CHIEVO PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

A home win is anticipated so the issue with regards betting in the Asian Handicap market is the margin of victory. This is a game in which Napoli can score at least two goals without reply so they should be backed to cover a spread of more than one goal. If Napoli maintain their scoring average at home their supremacy will be three goals as on current form Chiveo are unlikely to score. Even if the visitors manage a consolation Napoli can create enough chances to win the match by more than one goal.

NAPOLI - CHIEVO PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

This is a match that brings together a relatively high scoring home team and an away side that are unlikely to score. In terms of total goals backing over 2.5 assumes a prediction that Napoli can score three times and that is perfectly feasible against a side of Chievo’s quality. The visitors may score even if the statistics suggest otherwise but Napoli should score enough times in reply to take the total number of goals above two.
