Napoli were the first ones to crack in the heated two-horse race at the top of Serie A, so they need to win now more than ever to keep their Scudetto dream alive.
It won’t be an easy task for the online betting heavyweights from Naples, though, as they head to the Week 28 football games with a dangerous and well-rested Inter Milan side waiting and ready to defy the betting odds at all cost.
WEEK 28 SATURDAY:
Roma vs Torino
After pulling off what could be the biggest upset of the season, Roma will undoubtedly welcome Torino at home with open arms. Torino did beat them earlier this season, but it’s hard to imagine the Turin outfit repeating the victory with 13-goal man Edin Dzeko and the Romans brimming with confidence.
WEEK 28 SUNDAY:
Hellas Verona vs Chievo
Verona will look to build on the momentum they got in their win against Torino to climb out of relegation trouble. Chievo also need a win as any slip-up will bring them closer to danger, but playing away from home won’t put their hopes up.
Fiorentina vs Benevento
This game might be too early for Fiorentina following the tragic death of Davide Astori ahead of their match-up with Udinese. However, the players will surely want to win this one at home as a tribute to their late captain. Bottom club Benevento, who haven’t won a game on the road this campaign, just stand no chance against a determined team.
Juventus vs Udinese
Still second but with a game in hand over Napoli, Juventus have complete control of their destiny. Udinese, perhaps still shocked due to the tragic event last week, aren’t expected to put up much of a fight as they remain winless in four.
And hey, who can stop the duo of Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain?
Bologna vs Atalanta
Although Atalanta have the better record, their winless run of three draws and two defeats in all competitions makes it difficult to bet on them. Bologna have been inconsistent as well, but they have won two in a row at home and have shown some defensive grit over their last three matches.
Crotone vs Sampdoria
Saying that Crotone are in deep trouble is an understatement. They have lost back-to-back matches against their fellow bottom dwellers, and there’s no end in sight for their recent poor run. Sampdoria, meanwhile, have only one defeat in five and will be focused on boosting their Europa League hopes.
Cagliari vs Lazio
That time when Lazio were battling at the top seems a distant memory now. Sure enough, they are still a top-five team headed by leading league scorer Ciro Immobile, but 15th-placed Cagliari need a win and will certainly go all-out as they look to pull further away from the drop.
Sassuolo vs SPAL
There isn’t much to expect from this battle between 16th-placed Sassuolo and 17th-placed SPAL, especially with the two teams combining for just 42 goals so far. SPAL, however, have a good shot at getting the win considering Sassuolo’s eight-game skid—during which they conceded 18 goals.
WEEK 28 MONDAY:
Genoa vs AC Milan
AC Milan might not be getting a lot of love, but they are one of the hottest teams right now and are worthy of recognition. Although Genoa have found some success on their home turf as of late and are expected to pose some challenge, it seems foolish to bet against an undefeated team this 2018.
Inter Milan vs Napoli
The game of the week is promising to be an action-packed affair as Napoli aim to pile pressure on Juventus and perhaps, if they get lucky, take over the top again.
Indeed, doing so is easier said than done. After all, both teams shared the spoils in a goalless draw in their first meeting. Not to mention that Inter head into this match with their eyes on solidifying their Europa League place.
The form of Inter’s Mauro Icardi and Napoli’s Dries Mertens could spell the difference in this match-up, but a draw remains a likely result.
