Napoli vs Palermo Betting Tips

Perhaps in the Roma vs Fiorentina narrative of Serie A last weekend was the fact that Napoli picked up yet another win. A 1-0 away victory against Chievo is nothing to be sniffed at either and suggested that this club is capable of playing a couple of different types of game.

They endured something of a scratchy start to the season losing to Sassuolo and drawing games against Empoli and Carpi early on, but their form of late has been nothing short of sensational. There is a general feeling that streakiness might be a feature of this side during the course of the season.

Palermo will look to end that spell of good form. After losing four straight games, they picked up an away win over Bologna and battled for a draw against Inter Milan. They’re 13th place in the Serie A table and will be hoping to sneak some points out of their trip to the south coast.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Napoli at home

Their form at home has been outstanding. Their last three Serie A victories have come against Lazio, Juventus and Fiorentina, which isn’t a bad run of results.

2. Napoli scores goals

They also tend to get them in bunches. 19 in nine games is a fair reflection of a club that has dominated action through the early part of their season.

3. Asian Handicap is the way to go

Napoli’s attacking potency combined with Palermo’s tendency to sit back should ensure that the Asian Handicap margin is broken here, it’s the only profitable market on this occasion.
