Napoli vs Como Prediction 04 Oct 2024

⚽ Serie A - Round 7 Preview

📅 04 Oct 2024

⏰ 17:30 GMT +1

🏟 Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)

Napoli enjoyed a solid 2-0 victory over Monza last Sunday, marking their fifth win in six competitive outings (D1) and placing them atop the Serie A table for the first time in 483 days. The arrival of Como is likely to inspire confidence among the home fans, as Napoli has won all five of their competitive home matches this season, netting 12 goals in their last four games. Many attribute this resurgence to the influence of Antonio Conte, who has helped Napoli secure four clean sheets in their opening six league matches, matching their total from the previous 31 Serie A games. Notably, they achieved their third consecutive clean sheet against Monza, a feat not accomplished since February 2023 during their title-winning campaign.

Como has experienced a strong start to the season, with back-to-back 3-2 victories propelling them into the top half of the table with eight points (W2, D2, L2). Under the guidance of Cesc Fàbregas, Como has become an exciting team to watch, with their last three matches featuring both teams scoring at least twice. However, they face challenges on the road, having already completed six competitive away games this season, with a record of one win (D1, L3) against Atalanta. Como's tendency to concede first before halftime in all five of their away matches, trailing at the break in four, suggests that a slow start could prove detrimental again.

💡 Napoli vs Como Prediction

Napoli is riding high after their recent successes, and they will look to maintain their momentum against a Como side that has shown attacking promise but struggled defensively on the road. With the Partenopei's impressive home record and their newfound defensive solidity under Conte, they are favored to secure a comfortable win.
