Naples vs. Frankfurt: Preview and betting tips

While Naples continues its ride, Frankfurt’s gears are somewhat stuck. However, the Italian side will defend their two-goal lead at home. Moreover, the last Europa League winner will be missing a key striker. Everything is going in the favour of the current Serie A leader.

Napoli continue their dream season, leading the Serie A by 18 points, allowing coach Luciano Spalletti’s team to focus on the Champions League, which they are also playing well.

In Frankfurt, the Italian side won 2-0, and given their form and general disposition, they can only beat themselves.

Moreover, Frankfurt is not experiencing the best period, having won only once in the last 5 matches in the Bundesliga, due to which they are 5 points behind the 3rd and 4th place guaranteeing a ticket to the Champions League. And as mentioned, coach Oliver Glasner will not be able to use the services of his top scorer.

Randal Kolo Muani has scored 16 goals and assisted 14 more in 34 games for Frankfurt this season, only to miss the opening game due to a red card. The trio of Ansgar Knauff, Jesper Lindstrøm and Éric Ebimbe are also expected to be out.

In the first match, Napoli were dominant in every way. The team has been playing very well, which is proven by the fact that they have only conceded 2 goals in their last 9 matches.

On the other hand, Napoli has been scoring goals regularly, having scored at least two goals 8 times in the last 9 matches mentioned above.

Victor Osimhen is the most active in this respect, scoring 21 goals in 27 games this season. But we cannot forget the name of Khvich Kvaratskhelia. He has 13 accurate shots and 15 assists this season.

However, as said before, the whole team is playing great and therefore we can’t expect any big surprises. Given that Frankfurt needs to score at least 2 goals, Over 2.5 at odds around 1.7 is thus a very tempting offer.
