Key Statistics
Napoli opened their campaign with a 2–0 away win over Genoa, while Como drew 1–1 with Udinese. Napoli have also scored heavily during pre-season, including six against Aris.
The major complication is that the H2H has been unusually tight: three of the last five meetings ended 0–0 or 1–1.
Como are also unbeaten in their recent five-match sequence, making Napoli's outright win less secure than the Madrid selection.
Team News
Napoli are missing Pasquale Mazzocchi, Alessandro Buongiorno and Luca Marianucci, all through injury.
That leaves the champions slightly short at centre-back, although the expected XI still contains considerable experience.
Como have only Jayden Addai listed as unavailable. The visitors can therefore field a relatively strong side featuring Nico Paz, Martin Baturina and Douvikas.
Prediction Analysis
I can hardly place this as a game where a lot of goals will be scored.
Como has a direct style of play but Napoli has generally been the more dominant team.
The preferred choice for me would be under 4.5 goals. Then for an alternative, I'd say Napoli win.
