Napoli vs. Como: Match Prediction
The Neapolitans are very confident at home and often achieve their goals. The team's scoring prowess at home is impressive: in their last 15 home Serie A matches, Antonio Conte's side has not left the pitch without scoring, and in 11 of those games, Napoli scored at least twice. However, their defensive play has worsened, as they have conceded in their last three home league matches.
Como tries not to sit back in their penalty area and even spends a lot of time on the attack while away. In their last 11 away Serie A matches, Cesc Fabregas's side failed to score only twice, and in four instances during this period, they scored at least two goals. On the other hand, the team doesn't always defend perfectly: 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
