Napoli v Como

Napoli vs Como Preview

The current leaders of Serie A, Napoli, will play host to mid-table outfit Como at their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Friday night with the home side looking to extend their unbeaten run to six games and in turn remain top of the domestic top flight table, while Como will be going in search of a third win on the trot in the Italian top tier.

Napoli sit top of the Serie A table heading into this weekend's action thanks to picking up four wins and a draw within their opening six games and although they were dealt an opening day of the season 3-0 loss away from home at Verona, the hosts have staged an impressive recovery in subsequent weeks.

Four wins within these subsequent five games have helped lift Napoli to the top of the domestic tree following victories gained over the likes of Bologna, Parma, Cagliari and Monza respectively, while four of these five aforementioned games have also seen only one team score.

Indeed, seven out of Napoli's last 10 games overall in Serie A have resulted in only team hitting the back of the net and this trend may well continue here at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Friday evening.

Como bring a run of two wins on the trot into this upcoming Friday night clash in Serie A away from home at Napoli following back-to-back wins against Atalanta and Verona which will have come as a huge relief for players and fans alike.

It's been a 21-year absence from the Italian top flight for Como and the visitors seemed to struggle with the step up in quality at the start of this new Serie A season as they failed to win any of their opening four games overall.

Points picked up in draws with Cagliari and Bologna were outweighed by suffering defeats at the hands of Juventus and Udinese, both of which were away from home and both of these results also ended up with only one team scoring as well.

Two defeats within their opening three away games of this new domestic top flight season also appeared not to bode well for the visitors but they picked up all three points last time out on their travels by way of a 3-2 victory at Atalanta.

Napoli v Como Verdict

Napoli look to be the obvious favourites to pick up all three points here on Friday evening but it is worth noting that Como have won each of the last three meetings against the hosts, two of which were also wins to nil as well.

The wider picture shows three out of the previous four meetings between these two clubs have also seen only one team score, so this is our main pick.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 1.90

Other side bets worth considering:

Under 2.5 goals @ 2.10
