NAPOLI v PESCARA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Napoli are one of the form teams in Italy with only one defeat in their last six matches. They are now on an unbeaten run of four. That defeat was in a league match but during this run they have also beaten Dnipro in the Europa League. Only Fiorentina have won more points at home than Napoli this season to date. Only Genoa are below Pescara in the current away table after just two wins in eight matches. However Pescara are better placed on the basis of results at home, though they are bottom overall. Consequently Napoli are 18 places and 19 points ahead of their opponents at the weekend. Matches involving these sides this season have produced on average slightly less than 2.5 goals per game.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Edinson Cavani has scored eight goals this season and is a key player for Napoli. He scored in the recent win away to Genoa, a match in which Napoli had 56% of possession. However, as the home side they are likely to have a greater share of the ball against Pescara so will need to be efficient in turning possession into goal scoring opportunities. Pescara and Siena just about shared the ball in their recent match. However, Siena had more shots on target and corners and scored the single deciding goal. Pescara will have fewer chances against Napoli and will be looking for greater efficiency in front of goal with less than a half share of the ball. Pescara were beaten at home by Roma last weekend and despite having almost 47% of the possession could not produce a single shot on goal.

NAPOLI - PESCARA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Recent form suggest this is the home banker of the weekend and there are no grounds for opposing Napoli. They are just two points behind Juventus in the latest standings and will be looking to maintain their good run of results to contend for a place in next season’s Champions League. Napoli have the second best home record in Italy. They are unbeaten in seven matches at home and Pescara are unlikely to spoil that record. Pescara have one won match away from this season and that was a side not at Napoli’s level. Napoli have lost twice in the league this season but are more likely to add to their tally of nine wins which makes a home win the recommendation.

Back Napoli at 1.22 with Betsson.

NAPOLI - PESCARA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Napoli have avoided defeat in 12 of 14 matches played this season to date. At home they generally score more than once but do often concede which suggests Pescara can limit the margin of victory to one goal. However, Pescara away record is very poor and the side are inferior to the teams Napoli have played at home to date and they will struggle to score in this match. Correct score bettors may consider 2-0 but in any case Napoli should be able to cover a handicap of more than one goal.

NAPOLI - PESCARA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Napoli have scored 14 goals in 7 home matches this season, for an average of exactly two goals per game. However, they are below average in terms of ability which suggests Napoli can score at least twice. They are conceding almost a goal a game at home. There have been 12 goals in Pescara’s six away matches but they have scored six less than conceded. On current form Pescara are unlikely to score in this match and Napoli are projected to score twice. If their supremacy is restricted to two goals the final tally should be less than three.

Take the 2.42 with Pinnacle Sports for under 2.5 goals.
