Napoli v Man City Predictions

After falling to a defeat at the Etihad Stadium, Napoli will be desperate to avoid another loss on home soil here. Due to their fantastic domestic form, they will be full of confidence too. Since taking on a new role in the side, Dries Mertens has been in terrific form and should cause the Man City defenders problems all evening.

On the other hand, some experts are starting to wonder whether Man City can go the whole season unbeaten. Pep Guardiola and Kevin De Bruyne have both spoken out to say this is probably impossible, but The Citizens do look unstoppable at the moment. They sit comfortably top of Group F of the Champions League and could secure qualification for the knockout stages already if they win the game.

Both sides are free scoring and full of confidence, so an entertaining and attacking game should be on the cards. As Napoli have home advantage, the tip is for them to claim a hard fought point, with Over 2.5 Goals and a Correct Score of 2-2.
