LiontipsNapoli vs Spartak. Predictions and Betting Tips for Europa League
Command Analysis
Napoli started the season well - Luciano Spalletti's side is currently at the top of Serie A standings. Neapolitans recorded six victories in six matches, but they are only two points ahead of second-placed Milan, Inter is also only four points behind.
Parthenopeans also put up a weak performance in the first round of the Europa League. Napoli was losing 0:2 to 64th minute of the match against Leicester and was looking terrible at this point of the game. But they managed to strike back and levelled the score. Victor Osimhen scored a brace and brought a 2:2 draw to his team, which was rather undeserved.
Spartak is in a serious trouble now - under the management of Rui Vitoria Red-Whites were beaten in the Champions League qualification without any chance, they are also looking terrible in the domestic league. In the first round of the Europa League group stage Spartak suffered a 0:1 home defeat to Legia, conceding a goal just before the final whistle - a defeat sent the team to the last spot in the standings.
After nine rounds of the Russian Premier League Spartak are at the 8th spot in the standings. Moscow team is six points adrift from the Champions League zone - it is still within their reach. In the most recent match Red Whites beat Ufa at home without any problems - they recorded a 2:0 victory over The Townspeople and got a fourth win in the season.

Tip and bets
Napoli is looking terrifying in recent matches, Luciano Spalletti's team is in a wonderful form. Hosts will play for a victory after a slip-up in the previous match. Spartak are vulnerable on defense, only in one out of six most recent matches Red-Whites kept the clean sheet, with a performance like that it will be hard to pick up points at Naples.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Napoli
Napoli have a great offensive line - Neapolitans never scored less than two goals in a game during the current season. Spartak have serious problems with their defensive line, so we are expecting a confident victory from the favourite.
Our second bet is on Napoli to win by two goals
