Napoli -1.0 Goal Handicap
Napoli’s 3-0 win over Spezia last Sunday pushed their goals haul for the campaign to 51 after 21 fixtures in Serie A, and 28 of those were plundered in matches at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Napoli thumped Cremonese 4-1 when the teams last met in the league in October and another wide-margin victory looks achievable here. With that in mind, our first prediction backs Napoli to cover a -1.0 goals handicap on Sunday.
Victor Osimhen to Score Anytime
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is one of the most highly-regarded players in his position in world football right now and the dynamic frontman scored his 15th and 16th Serie A goals of the season against Spezia last weekend. The Napoli star has notched his tally in just 17 starts in the division and Osimhen has the skills package to terrorize the Cremonese defence this weekend. As such, he is an excellent candidate in the anytime goalscorer stakes again.
