Napoli vs. Man City Betting Analysis
Napoli makes their anticipated return to the Champions League stage with a daunting opening fixture against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The reigning Italian champions hold a perfect record in Serie A so far, and now they face the task of taking on Pep Guardiola’s side, which recently restored confidence with a 3-0 win over Manchester United in the derby.
Pep Guardiola’s new-look squad has looked deadly at times, and we are backing them to win and concede a goal or less as part of our Manchester City vs Napoli predictions.
The Citizens’ home form is excellent. They have suffered just five defeats in their last 25 matches at the Etihad, despite enduring a tough 2024/25 campaign. During that run, City have scored an average of 2.56 goals per game and conceded just 1.20.
Pep’s team stormed to a 3-0 lead in the Manchester Derby on Sunday. They finished the game with an xG of 2.63 and managed to keep a clean sheet. The result will give them confidence coming into this game.
Napoli are 5.00/+400 to win on Thursday, and they have struggled in recent matches where they have been priced similarly. In their last five outings at odds of 4.00/+300 or greater, they have lost three, drawn two, and scored just three goals.
Such a poor attacking output as the underdog doesn’t bode well ahead of the trip to the Etihad.
