Napoli vs. Como: Match Prediction
Napoli feels very confident at home and often achieves their goals. The team's scoring prowess at home is impressive: in their last 15 home Serie A matches, Antonio Conte's side has never left the field without scoring, and in 11 of those games, Napoli has scored at least twice. However, the club's defensive play has declined, as they have conceded in their last three home league matches.
Como does not shy away from attacking, even on the road. In their last 11 away Serie A encounters, Cesc Fabregas's side failed to score only twice, and in four of those games, they scored at least two goals. On the other hand, their defense is not always perfect: in 7 of their last 10 away matches, Como failed to keep a clean sheet.
I expect to see several goals in this encounter, so my prediction: Total over 2
