1.59Tip and bets
Napoli showed character in the last round and won a strong-willed victory over Udinese, thanks to which they broke their losing streak and remained in second place in the table. It is obvious that today the Neapolitans will also strive to take all three points, the competition in the fight for the Scudetto is off the charts. Genoa has been looking good lately, but it will be very difficult to take points from such a Napoli.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Forecast - Napoli victory . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on total
"Napoli" will undoubtedly be determined today and no other result than victory will satisfy the guests. It is unlikely that Genoa has a chance to play reliably in defense in a confrontation with such an opponent, the Neapolitans have motivation and superiority in class. However, the "griffins" have gained form and are distinguished by high implementation, they are capable of responding with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.05
Bet on corners
Napoli are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Napoli. This bet is offered for 1.85
