Sunday 20th May 2018 – Kickoff: 1800hrs
Football – Italy – Serie A Betting Tips
Napoli will be keen to end their Serie A campaign on a winning note on Sunday evening when they take on relegation threatened Crotone at Stadio San Paolo with the hosts having lost just once in their last ten matches overall.
That rare defeat was inflicted upon them away at Fiorentina in a heavy 3-0 loss, but with an excellent home record which stands at 13-3-2 41/17 which includes three wins from their last four, with wins over Genoa, Chievo and Udinese.
Napoli have actually captured eight wins from their last ten on home soil, and they possess numerous dangerous attacking personnel in terms of Mertens (18 goals), Callejon (9 goals) and Insigne (8 goals), as well as creative midfielder, Hamsik, who’s weighed in with 7 goals.
Crotone are dangerously close to the trap-door as they make their way to Napili for this decisive last day of the season clash with the second placed favourites. Theoretically, one club out of five teams could be sent down to Serie B if results go against them, with just two points separating them all.
Three wins from their last ten matches is not the kind of return Crotone were looking for in this season’s run-in as they look to avoid the drop, but although they secured much needed wins over Bologna, Udinese and Sassuolo, these could all be in vain with a defeat in Napoli today.
A poor away record of 3-2-13 16/39 masks the fact that Crotone have won just once in their last seven on their travels which includes five defeats at Benevento, Fiorentina, Torino, Genoa and Chievo – with defeats at Benevento and Chievo being particularly damaging to their hopes of Serie A survival.
