Napoli approached the start of the season as one of the main contenders for the Scudetto – Antonio Conte took over the team in the summer and managed to strengthen it well.

For now, Napoli is third in the table and is two points behind Atalanta and Inter. The 2:1 victory over Genoa in the last round was the second in a row.

"Napoli" came to their senses after several unclear matches and won two games in a row, the fight for the championship title is in full swing and the hosts certainly do not intend to lose points in the home match against the penultimate team in the championship. Despite a number of successes, "Venice" is unlikely to count on points today, "Napoli" has a huge advantage in class and will be incredibly motivated.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Napoli . This bet is offered with odds of 1.80
Bet on total
"Napoli" will be in a very determined mood today and will probably attack with great force from the first minutes. It is obvious that the defense of "Venice", which is not particularly reliable, has a minimum chance of keeping a clean sheet and the hosts will probably open the scoring in the first half. At the same time, "Venice" has been playing boldly lately and regularly scores, the guests are capable of responding with a goal of prestige.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.09
Bet on corners
Napoli are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
