A couple of old AC Milan team-mates go head to head in Naples today and Tobias Gourlay fancies the host to come out on top
"Benevento have conceded before the break on 8/11 road trips and look like they could fail fast today"
Back Napoli/Napoli @ 2.245/4 v Benevento
Napoli v Benevento
Sunday 17:00 (Live on Premier Sports 2)
In Italy yesterday, Bologna beat Lazio 2-0 to leave us a goal short of our target. It means we're even for the week (three wins, three defeats) and need a result today to finish our shift in the black.
We're sticking in Italy for this afternoon's Serie A match between Gennaro Gattuso's Napoli and Pippo Inzaghi's Benevento. Last time Benevento came to Naples for a league game, it was 2017 and they lost 6-0. The Sorcerers also lost the reverse fixture earlier this season and we're not sure they can magic up a result today.
Napoli have won 7/11 Serie A matches at the San Paolo this term, including each of the last three. In 6/7 wins, they were ahead at half-time.
Benevento are W4-D2-L5 on the road this season, but the wins all came against teams now 10th or lower. Napoli are seventh and, against teams higher than 10th, they have lost 4/4 and been behind at half-time in all four defeats. Versus everyone, they've conceded before the break in 8/11 and they look like they could fail fast against Napoli today. We're backing the hosts to be ahead at 45 and 90 minutes in the Half Time/Full Time market.
