Napoli vs Hellas Verona Betting Tips

Napoli are enjoying a strong 2015-16 season so far and if they can find a way to get past win-less Hellas Verona on Wednesday night, they’ll have reached the quarter-final stage of the Coppa Italia competition to boot.

Defeat to Bologna and a draw with Roma mean that Napoli are win-less in two games in domestic competition. They made up for it by thrashing Legia Warsaw 5-2 in last week’s midweek Europa League action. Still, the games are piling up again as we head towards the winter break.

A 1-0 win over Pavia represents the only positive result for Verona so far this season. It has been a dismal campaign for this side, which was mostly expected to be a solid mid-table competitor. They haven’t quite been good enough defensively or in terms of their attacks and it is costing them.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Finding the best odds

It isn’t easy for this game where Napoli are just so strongly favoured. They’re a high quality side and we expect them to win, but the odds on the win or even the goal totals are low value options. Meanwhile, a -2.0 Asian Handicap demands a three-goal win for Napoli, that’s tough too. Counting on Napoli to keep a clean sheet is the most reliable bet and we’re getting a pretty decent number at 5/6.

2. Sorry no Verona upset

We just cannot see it happening, if they were going to do something like that, surely Verona would have made something happen by now. This squad needs Serie A wins and that should be their focus.

3. Not so ruthless

Our correct score prediction plays a solid 2-0 win for Napoli, we don’t think they’ll play in a way that crushes Verona, there’s plenty of room for squad fatigue with a packed schedule in December through to the Christmas break.
