Today's Betting Tips for Verona vs Napoli
Verona face a tough opening game of the new season at home to Napoli, a team they have only beaten in one of their last six attempts. Napoli started the last Serie A really strong, going on a long unbeaten run before eventually dropping out of the title race altogether.
Napoli to Win
The visitors have won three of their last six encounters with Verona, including two of their last three trips to the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi, so you can see why we're backing an away win on Monday evening. Verona suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat in their own backyard against lower league Bari last week and are now out of the Coppa Italia, while Napoli went unbeaten in pre-season with three wins and three draws.
Both Teams to Score
The last four meetings between these two clubs in Serie A have ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard, and we're predicting more of the same in their next upcoming head-to-head. Three of Verona's and four of Napoli's last five outings in all competitions have ended with both teams finding the back of the net, adding further weight to our prediction.
