Napoli has been performing strongly lately, showing solid form that suggests the hosts will be focused on securing a win today. While some rotations in the lineup may be necessary, their squad depth is impressive. Napoli is clearly aiming for success in the Cup. On the other hand, Palermo falls significantly short in terms of quality and is unlikely to pose a serious challenge.

We believe the visitors have no chance. Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Napoli, with odds of 1.75.
