Stadium: King Power (Leicester)
This will be the first head-to-head encounter between Leicester City and Napoli. The Neapolitan outfit cannot boast good results in England. The games involving Brendan Rodgers’ side are without goals.
Leicester
This season, Leicester City have already won one trophy. It happened in the first official match against Manchester City. The Foxes beat the Citizens 1-0 to win the FA Super Cup. Leicester City have played four games in the English Premier League. Brendan Rodgers’ side was stronger than Wolverhampton and Norwich City. Leicester also left the field as losers against West Ham United and Manchester City. The club sits ninth in the EPL table.
Napoli
Napoli are progressing without a run of form so far in the Italian league. The debut of the season under Luciano Spalletti is encouraging for fans of the Neapolitan side. First, Napoli registered a 2-0 home win over Venezia and then defeated Genoa 2-1 away. The previous weekend, Napoli faced Juventus in Serie A. Napoli were trailing at the start of the game, but they had a great second half. The club scored two goals and secured a comfortable win. Napoli are sitting in third place in the Italian league table.
Face-to-face encounters
At the King Power Stadium, Leicester City and Napoli face each other for the first time in their history.
Expert Betting Tips
Here are some interesting away stats for Napoli in the Europa League group stage and against English clubs. In the last three group stages of the European tournament, the Neapolitan club has played nine matches, in which they have won six, drawn twice, and lost once. However, England’s club’s form leaves much to be desired - three draws and eight defeats. As for the interesting facts about Leicester, in the last four games in the Europa League, one of the halves ended in a zero draw.
I believe that the teams will be cautious in the first half of the game. I expect the main events of the game after the break. The second half was more productive than the first in three of Leicester’s five games this season. This line has gone in all encounters for the Neapolitan team in the current campaign. For these reasons, I consider this bet to be profitable. I would also suggest betting on a draw for the upcoming match at the King Power Arena.
- Highest scoring half - 2nd for 1.99;
- Napoli to score in the second half for 1.83;
- X for odds of 3.55.
