Competition: Europa League
Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 2/3 @ 888sport
With it all still to play for heading into their final Group C on Thursday evening, Leicester will make the trip to Serie A outfit Napoli in midweek.
Starting with the hosts, knowing that they face a must-win showdown on Thursday evening, Napoli do find themselves in the midst of what has become a recent wobble. In their five Group C matchups so far this season, they have recorded a pair of wins, a single draw and a pair of defeats, scoring 12 and conceding eight in return. Managing to muster a points tally of seven from a possible 15, the Blues open their group stage finale sat third in the table and one-point adrift of second-place Spartak Moscow. As for their recent run of results, last seen over the weekend getting hit with a lively 3-2 defeat against Atalanta, Napoli have now managed to win just one of their previous six matchups from across all formats. Likewise, it should also be noted, Thursday’s hosts have seen six of their previous seven contests finish with both teams finding the net.
As for the visitors, also coming off the back of their own sluggish display last weekend, Leicester find themselves in a similar spot to Thursday’s opponents. In their five Group C matchups so far this year, they have recorded two wins, two draws and just a single defeat, scoring 10 and conceding eight in return. Managing to muster a points tally of eight from a possible 15, the Premier League outfit open Thursday’s final round of fixtures sat at the top of the table and hold a one-point buffer over the chasing pack. However, last seen throwing away the lead and getting hit with a 2-1 loss away at Aston Villa, Leicester have now managed to win just a pair of their last eight contests from across all formats. Likewise, it should be noted, with each of their last four matchups finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
