Bet: Total goals by Away Team over 1

The last month happened to be quite difficult for Napoli. The sports betting companies considered the Partenopei to be a favorite in all of their matches. However, Sarri’s side managed to get only 1 win out of 6 games in both Serie A and the Champions League. The Neapolitans were expected to finally runaway with a victory in the last fixture against Sassuolo. Instead, they got another draw (1-1) and they now sit on the 7^th position of the Serie A table. Besides, the sports betting experts predicted Napoli to dominate their Champions League group, but the Partenopei haven’t secured a spot in the knockout stage yet.

According to the betting experts Inter have every reason to be in confident mood before the upcoming game. After a 2-2 draw in the derby della Madonnina the Nerazzurri warmed up for this match with a convincing 4-2 victory over Fiorentina. They definitely look better in the first matches under the direction of Stefano Pioli. So the betting companies could have hastened to strike them out of the contenders list for the top-three in Serie A. By the way, an ignominious Europa League exile, which will soon be forgotten, can be of use for the team as they will now focus only on the national championship race.

While choosing a bet you should take into account the fact that Pioli’s side is in hot pursuit of the Neapolitans. The Nerazzurri need a victory here to narrow the gap just to 1 point. However, as a rule, it’s very hard for Inter to get points at Stadio San Paolo, though they managed to defeat the host in the National Cup in January (2-0). So, giving the fact that Inter is in a good run of form, they look ready to make a stand against struggling Napoli. The Partenopei are still looking to rediscover their goal-scoring power after losing their top forward Arkadiusz Milik. As for Inter, the betting experts think that among Santon, Palacio, Medel and Eloge, only the loss of Gary Medel can have impact on the game.

The bookmakers definitely underestimate the away team here: Napoli – 1,85, Draw – 3,65, Inter – 4,30. At this moment Napoli have nothing to boast of. They have a considerable slump in results. What’s more, the Neapolitans are going to play a crucial Champions League game on Tuesday. So being in some cracking form Inter may take advantage of the situation. As the Nerazzurri have netted 11 goals in their last 4 matches in all competitions, you can bet on “Total goals by Away Team over 1” (1,78). But together with the attacking aptness Inter don’t look sharp at the back. That’s why the bet “Both Teams to Score” (1,64) should make it through. Besides, it is advisable to back “Double Chance: Inter or Draw” (1,96).
