Bookmakers are currently pricing this game as follows:
2.40 - 3.25 - 3.10
It turns out that despite Napoli being the favorite in the title race, they are the underdogs in this particular game. I don't even know if it's fair to rate the current champion and race leader as 3.10? Plus, Milan is far from being the strongest competitor and is very far from its best days. For some reason, I'm starting to think that betting on Napoli is the right choice, or that I could take the more reliable Napoli Double Chance.
There's nothing strange to see Napoli being priced like that. That reminds me when they got 3.15 opening odds compared to the Milan 2.16 in their away game against Milan last season. So, no matter how big their odds, but i believe they have competent squad to win this game. Betting on Napoli is the worthiest bet right now.
Yeah they're being favored in the title race, but it does
