Sure Chelsea could very well win this game, but I highly doubt it.
At this very form they're in, they will be lucky to pull out a draw against Napoli.
This might summed up Chelsea as of late. They haven't looked any better since AVB left, (though winning both games). The lifeless performance against 10-men stoke proved it all. They have no movement, and even less creativity. The don't have the "hunger" factor that the elite teams have at the moment.
While Chelsea will be busy attacking, Napoli will strike back and they are deadly on the counters. Napoli is the second highest scoring team in the Series A. In a damn good form as well, winning the last 6 games in all comp, netting 17 goals. Including the 6-3 fireworks against Cagliari
I think the line should be more Chelsea -.25. Chelsea have the players and the talents, just don't have the right system and the right form yet. Cavani and Lavezzi will expose what seems to be shaky defense at times.
I'll gladly take the .75 as one of the biggest midweek game I'm looking forward to.
also like ML @ +375 as well
Verdict Napoli +.75 @ -111 for 4 units
Napoli ML @ +375 for 1 unit
napoli looked better for the first half of the first half, but chelsea have their goal and only need one more now at home. The Napoli defense looks shaky against crosses and headers. I have Napoli to qualify so I am hoping they can score a goal.
