Napoli vs Spal Prediction & Betting tips
The picture of Ancelotti leaves like favorite due to the great soccer difference existing between a squad and another one. For this reason and knowing that the Neapolitans tend to increase their level when they perform at the San Paolo stadium, we believe that the bet “Napoli will score in the first half” is interesting to bet. Paint to be an uneven duel from the initial whistle, being possible that the local press with everything in the first 20 ‘minutes of play. In the end, the goal may end up falling for a play made from the midfield or for a specific action (corner, free kick near the area).
Napoli :
Ancelotti’s squad visited Cagliari last Sunday after the defeat that meant the elimination of the Champions League. And he suffered to win, as he did on the end with a goal by Polish Milik. These days, he has 38 points in the table, with 8 of the leader Juventus. Now the goal of the squad is to add the last triumph of the year and close it in an acceptable way despite what happened in the European context. He has added 3 consecutive wins in the Italian Calcio, having to improve their effectiveness against certain teams to not complicate so much in the face of the goal. He has yielded 14 goals on his fence, standing out for defending in an acceptable manner.
As a local, Napoli has reaped more than positive results, after winning almost all the matches he played at the San Paolo stadium (6 wins and 2 draws). He has scored 19 goals and has given 4 on his fence, standing out for being an effective oncense on attack and solid defensive. It comes to beat Sassuolo 2-0, to equalize 1-1 with Roma, to overcome Empoli 5-1, to tie 0-0 with Chievo and to overcome 4-0 to Frosinone. Apparently, the team often scores many goals when facing lower level rivals. Of course, his goal is not to complicate when the first goal does not come fast.
SPAL:
The team received Chievo last weekend and drew 0-0 after the final whistle. These days, he has 16 points and is not that far from the direct descent. He has won 4 draws and 1 loss in his last 5 presentations, standing out for being a complicated team to overcome (3 consecutive parities). At the moment his campaign has been negative, since he has won 4 matches of 16 disputed (25%). However, it is achieving the main objective of the season so far. And this is to stay out of the low. He has scored 14 goals and has given 24 in his goal, standing out for having certain problems to reach the goal.
As a visitor, SPAL has obtained negative results due to its defensive irregularity (2 wins, 1 parity and 5 falls). He has scored 6 goals and has yielded 13 in his goal, proving to be unreliable in attack and extremely irregular when making collective transitions (defense-attack and attack-defense). It comes from losing 2-1 to Sampdoria, to beat Roma 2-0, to go down 4-1 against Lazio, to trip 2-0 against Juventus and equalize 1-1 against Genoa. If we analyze these numbers, we can affirm that the team fights the matches that it disputes in this condition, but ends up losing them due to exit errors or punctual plays like free throws near the area or corner kicks.
The last duel held by Napoli and SPAL at the San Paolo stadium was in February 2018. On that occasion, the local team won 1-0 with Allan’s goal, which was converted in the first minutes of the first half. For this duel is expected a less adjusted procedure in which Neapolitans win by two or three goals difference. However, a triumph suffered by the minimum is not ruled out either.
