Napoli v AC Milan Betting Preview – La Liga 18th November 7.45pm
Napoli remains unbeaten at the top of Serie A this season and they are genuine title contenders in what looks to be a massively competitive battle this season. AC Milan were expected to be in the mix a little more than they are as they are eight points outside of the top five going into this clash. It hasn’t been happening for the Rossoneri but the confidence they could take from beating the league leaders away from home would be priceless.
Napoli v AC Milan Betting Tips
What a season Napoli are having in Serie A. No-one has managed to get the better of them this season so far and they have faced Inter Milan and Roma already, two of the other current top five in the Italian top flight. Napoli have produced a W4 D1 L0 record in their five home games so far this season and aside from a 0-0 draw with Inter Milan, they have scored at least three goals in each of their other home fixtures this season. Over 2.5 goals is a price of 18/5 with bet365 because of that. Plus three of the last four between these at Napoli have gone over the mark. Napoli have averaged exactly three goals per home game this season and at the back, they have only conceded twice at the Stadio San Paolo this season. Napoli are a quote of 7/4 at bet365 to win to nil. They have three clean sheets in their five home games this season.
Dries Mertens is their top scorer this season on the domestic front and he is the bet365 12/5 first goalscorer favourite. Just to show how much they have improved and how strongly they are going this season they are already eleven points better off than they were at this stage last season. They have not conceded a goal in the second half of any of their home fixtures this season. In the bet365 correct score market, the shortest priced option is a Napoli 2-1 result at a price of 7/1, with 2-0 result for the home side coming in at 15/2. Napoli have won three of their last four on home soil against AC Milan and won both games against them last season. Napoli are now unbeaten in their last five games against Milan in Serie A.
In the summer Milan went shopping and they were expected to be doing a lot better than trailing the league leaders by eleven points. They haven’t been able to live up to the standards of the better teams in the division having lost against five of the top current top six that they have already played so far this season. That’s not a good sign and overall this season they have gone W6 D1 L5 for the Serie A campaign. Defensively they have not looked anywhere near sharp enough this season and have conceded more goals than anyone else in the top seven. Both teams to score at bet365 is a price of 4/6 and Suso is their top scorer with five league goals and he is a 9/2 option in the game. AC Milan are W3 L3 from their six games played out on their travels in the Italian top flight this season with no clean sheet in their last five road fixtures.
