Napoli vs Lazio Betting Tips

On paper, these are a pair of good football teams that should return to European football action as a minimum by the end of 2015-16. However, it’s also impossible to ignore the evidence on the field. Neither squad has been without blemishes and actually there’s been some uncharacteristic displays that might cause both fan bases a few moments to pause.

A 5-0 hammering of Club Brugge in Europa League action this week will hopefully have set Napoli and Maurizio Sarri back on course after an indifferent start to the Serie A season. The former Empoli man has struggled to convince in his new role, even being held to a draw by his former club last weekend after previously drawing with Sampdoria and losing to Sassuolo.

Lazio were also involved in midweek European football action and their performances this season have been somewhat erratic. They were absolutely destroyed 4-0 by Chievo in one match-up, but they looked relatively confident in controlling the game completely and beating Udinese 2-0 last weekend. Which Lazio shows up for their highest profile domestic game of the season so far?

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Lazio are playing better

Both teams have been erratic, but we like Lazio to keep the ball in this clash and to continue playing good football. Napoli’s road has been more tumultuous and while one point wouldn’t be a bad result here, we can’t see the win.

2. Best market

The Asian Handicap market is the best value for money on a positive performance for Lazio. Get a little bit over double your stake on a handicap that is effectively a DC.

3. Serie A craziness

There’s a line of thinking that says Napoli are at home, have played Lazio well in the past and are at home. Ignore that kind of statistical logic for Serie A this season, it won’t help you :-).
