Como vs Napoli – Betting Preview, Best Tips & Predictions

Therefore, the hosts cannot afford another slip-up here. Como’s impressive home record in Serie A this season can inspire confidence (W9, D5, L3), even though they lost their last home match to Inter despite taking a two-goal lead in the first half.

Inter’s comeback knocked Como down from a three-game winning home league streak and maintained their dreadful run against the division’s top teams. Indeed, Fabregas’ men are still seeking their first Serie A victory against a current top-three side this season (D2, L3).

Como’s underwhelming record in high-profile fixtures can encourage Napoli, who will be out to avenge February’s gut-wrenching loss in the Coppa Italia. However, that could prove easier said than done, as they’ve won just one of their four competitive clashes against the Lariani since their top-flight promotion (D1, L2).

Adding to this sentiment, six of Napoli’s seven Serie A defeats this season have come on the road. Furthermore, just three of their nine away league wins have seen them beat teams currently positioned 13th or better (D2, L6), highlighting the size of the task ahead. Given how both sides have fared recently, a share of the spoils feels like the most realistic outcome.

Over/Under Market

Though just unde 47% of Como’s home matches in Serie A this season have featured over 2.5 goals, their last six league outings at the Sinigaglia Stadium have all comfortably cleared that line. Indeed, their two most recent such fixtures have produced a total of 12 goals, with Como scoring at least three on both occasions.

By contrast, Napoli’s last two away games have contained under 2.5 goals. However, their five previous such contests had all featured at least three goals, suggesting this matchup could still deliver plenty of goalmouth action. It’s also worth noting that two of the three Serie A meetings between Napoli and Como this century have turned into high-scoring affairs.
