Napoli vs Perugia Predictions
Napoli must taste defeat in their previous meeting with Inter Milan. They could not stop the goals from Romero Lukaku even on their own turf. Also, they have lost three of their last ten overall supplies.
In addition, the home side have lost at home only for a strong side like Inter and Parma recently. Along with that, Napoli are unbeaten at home in the ten previous six home games. So, we can count on the home team to fare well against the lower-level contingent.
Even at a lower level league, Perugia has struggled to pick up points in the table. Evidently, they have recorded just one win in their last five games.
Additionally, Perugia has won only twice in the last ten away games in the main contest. Also, they have been without a win in six of ten attempts before they were in the main competition as a whole.
In addition, visitors were beaten 0-1 at home by Venezia in Serie B before meeting them.
If Perugia could not hold on to fellow Serie B side at home, it will be very difficult for them to beat Napoli in the last grass itself. Therefore, Napoli have more chances to win the game in ninety minutes and maybe even with a disability -1 over opponents.
Because they face lower league teams, Napoli will be eager to score. In the future, we can expect the total scoreline to more than 2.5 goals in ninety minutes.
