Predictions and betting tips

Napoli has been in great form this season as they sit at the top of the Serie A table. They have scored the most goals in the league (39). Roma have scored 25 goals in the league this season. Two of the last five Napoli games have ended in over 3.5 goals. Two of the last six meetings between both sides have ended in over 2.5 goals. I predict over 2.5 goals.

Napoli are very clinical in front of the goal and will be looking to get a win and extend their lead at the top. This looks to be an interesting game. I see Napoli edging it by a small margin as they have been the better side this season. I predict Napoli to win 3-1.
