Napoli Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals

Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Napoli vs AC Milan
Napoli did a great job in the previous round by beating Lazio and clinching the top of the Serie A standings. However, it was the manner in which the Blues achieved that victory with their resilience and fighting spirit. Moreover, Luciano Spaletti’s men look very hungry in winning as they pursue their dream of winning the Scudetto.
After a shaky November and December months during which Napoli had two wins in eight games, they hit back. Since the start of the year, the Parthenopeans are undefeated winning five and drawing three. In their match against Lazio in the last round, Napoli players fought till the end and scored in the dying minutes to claim all three points.
Milan meanwhile lost four points in their last two games in two relatively easy games facing Salernitana and Udinese. This shows that wins don’t come by strolling in the park as the Rossoneri lost their lead at the top of the Serie A table. Now instead of being four points clear at the top, they are even with Napoli on 57 points.
Moreover, Inter have a postponed game with Bologna if they win, they will regain the lead. Consequently, it is necessary for the Rossoneri to at least not lose in Napoli on Sunday. Surely, Stefano Pioli prefers a win but looking at their latest results, he needs to adjust his tactics in Naples.
Napoli vs AC Milan Prediction
At first glance, one may predict that this match would easily end in a draw. Although that might be a high probability, we think Napoli are in a better mental state and might just steal a win on Sunday night.
A defeat to any one of these teams surely won’t end their title hopes but there will be a huge psychological advantage for the winner in the later stages of the season.
To summarize, we will back a Napoli win or a draw in this tough to predict encounter since the Blues are marginally in better shape. Also, Milan may be a bit less confident of themselves after those two draws in the previous couple of rounds.
Safe Bet
Napoli’s matches in the Serie A typically have 8.67 corners per game. Also, in Milan’s fixtures, the average number of corners awarded is 9.19. At Vbet, the odds for under 10.5 total corners is 1.56. Thus we will back this bet as our safe bet for this match.
Quick Rich
In the last 26 matches between Napoli and Milan, there were 11 draws, that’s 43% of the games. In addition, this game is so important that both coaches prefer not to lose and win a point. As a result, we think betting for a draw is a good option for a quick profit as it has an odds of 3.45.
Napoli vs AC Milan First Goalscorer
Victor Osimhen scored seven goals this season in Serie A. On four out of those seven strikes, the Nigerian striker was the first goalscorer of the match. With odds of 5.40 at Vbet, we will back Osimhen to repeat the same feat and open the scoring on Sunday.
