There's a big Italian job ahead of Dnipro in the Europa League tonight and Tobias Gourlay doesn't think they're up to the task

"Napoli have a W5-D1-L0 record at the San Paolo this season, striking three times in four of those five wins"

Back Napoli/Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.111/10 v Dnipro

Napoli v Dnipro
Thursday 20:05

If you're bothering to read this column, you probably know the score from yesterday's game already.

But would you deny us our moment of glory?

Barcelona 3 Bayern Munich 0.

And now we can move on.

Europa League favourites Napoli have a W5-D1-L0 record at the San Paolo this season, striking three times in four of those five wins.

Tonight they entertain a Dnipro side that has been to Italy three times in the last three seasons and lost on each occasion. The scores from those previous trips: 2-1, 2-1, 4-2.

The best we can say for the Ukrainians is that at least they've scored on 10/14 Europa League away days.

Whether or not the visitors score, there's a good chance the game itself will get Over 2.5 Goals - just like 11 of Napoli's last 12 Europa League home matches have - and so we're going to drop that into a single bet alongside the home win.
