Will SSC shut out the opposition again?
The champions from Naples have not shown any weakness so far in the new season! The southern Italians have started with three wins and SSC are already back at the top of the table. So is the Napoli vs. Pisa tip a good bet for coach Antonio Conte’s team to pick up another three points?
Their upcoming opponents hardly pose a threat. The promoted team is still waiting for a win after three rounds, and the Nerazzurri are particularly disappointing from an offensive point of view.
Coach Alberto Gilardino’s team has only managed one goal, and that came from an own goal by Bergamo on the first matchday! On top of that, the visitors will face a very strong defense, as Napoli has only conceded one goal so far. Given this situation, the Napoli vs. Pisa prediction is a home win to nil.
Furthermore, we expect few goals. The visitors’ offense is very limited, and the home side is unlikely to put on an offensive fireworks display, as they were still playing Manchester City in the Champions League last Thursday. The Napoli vs. Pisa odds of a maximum of two goals in the game are therefore a good idea in our opinion.
This is also supported by the fact that the newcomers’ defense has been quite respectable, conceding only three goals so far.
Napoli – Pisa Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
Napoli and Pisa last faced each other in the Coppa Italia in 2007, with SSC winning 3-1 in front of their home crowd. Furthermore, looking back to 1990, the visitors have not won a single game in this fixture (0-1-4).
The bookmakers’ betting odds for the upcoming match between Napoli and Pisa also clearly favor the home side.
Napoli – Pisa Tip
SSC is currently very busy, as it is competing in both Serie A and the Champions League. At least in league play, however, the Conte XI has had a very successful start to the season with three wins. Even the loss of Romelu Lukaku in attack due to injury has not had a negative impact on the hosts so far.
In addition, the champions’ defense is very solid. Only Florence has scored against Napoli so far. In view of this, the prediction of another win for the home team without conceding a goal seems interesting for the match between Napoli and Pisa.
This prediction is supported by the visitors’ weak offense, which has only scored one own goal from Bergamo in the first game of the season! In addition, a goal from Kevin De Bruyne can be expected for the hosts.
The Belgian is currently on target, scoring at least once in four of his last six competitive games for Napoli and his country’s national team. On top of that, he will at least be rested on the SSC side, as KdB only played around 25 minutes in last Thursday’s Champions League game against Manchester City due to a tactical decision by his coach.
