Napoli and Leicester City square off in a huge UEFA Europa League game this Thursday at the Stadio San Paolo in Naples. All four clubs in Group C can still reach the Round of 16, as only two points separates Leicester in first to Legia Warsaw in fourth. The Italians are the favourites on home soil, but Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes will back themselves to get the job done in Naples – a point will be enough for the Premier League team. Check out the latest odds and best tips.

Napoli Preview – Can the Italian giants make home advantage count?

Napoli have won two, drawn one and lost two of their five Europa League group fixtures. Luciano Spalletti’s side are in third spot on seven points, level with second-place Spartak Moscow.

Napoli took just one point from their opening two before securing a much-needed 3-0 home win over Legia Warsaw on matchday three. They then beat the Poles 4-1 to put themselves in a commanding position in the group. However, a 2-1 loss in Moscow last time out has left their qualification chances hanging by a thread.

Our betting prediction:

Napoli are a tough nut to crack at the Stadio San Paolo, but they need a win on home soil. The bookies are offering evens for the Naples club to get the required three points.

Leicester City Preview – Can the Premier League side get the job done in Italy?

Leicester City are currently in first place in Group C, collecting eight points from a possible 15. The Foxes struggled to get going in Europe this season, but Brendan Rodgers’ men have kicked on when the tough got going.

Leicester drew at home with Napoli and were beaten at Legia Warsaw in their opening two. They then won a seven-goal thriller in Moscow before being held to a 1-1 home draw by the Russian side. City picked up a much-needed three points last time out, seeing off Warsaw with a 3-1 victory in front of 30,000 at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester’s destiny is in their own hands, as a win would put them through as group winners no matter what happens elsewhere. A draw would also be enough in Naples, but Rodgers & Co. will be gunning for a victory.

 

Napoli vs Leicester City Betting Advice

The game between the pair at the King Power Stadium back in September was the first ever meeting between the clubs. It was a cracker in the English Midlands, with goals from Ayoze Perez and Harvey Barnes putting the Foxes two up. However, Napoli bounded back with two late Victor Osimhen goals to earn a 2-2 draw.

 

Key Facts – Napoli vs Leicester City Betting Tip

  • The pair drew 2-2 in Leicester three months back
  • The Foxes need just a point to reach the last 16
  • Napoli will go through with a home win

 

On paper, there is not a lot to split Napoli and Leicester. As we touched on, a point will be enough for the Foxes, but we fancy the Premier League outfit to leave the Stadio San Paolo with all three. The away win is nicely priced at 12/5.

Veteran Jamie Vardy has been in fine goalscoring form for the Foxes this season. So far, the former England international has bagged nine Premier League goals but has yet to find the net in Europe. Back Vardy to open the scoring in this one at 11/2.
