Napoli to Stay Unbeaten?

Man City have won two and lost two of their opening four Premier League games. After suffering back-to-back defeats to Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion before the international break, they bounced back with a much-needed three points on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola’s boys welcomed Ruben Amorim’s Man Utd to the Etihad, with City dominating from start to finish. Goal-machine Erling Haaland bagged a second-half brace after Phil Foden’s early header.

Napoli won the Italian title last term, and Antonio Conte’s men have made a strong start to their Serie A season. The Blues beat Sassuolo and Cagliari before the break, and the champions returned to action last weekend with a superb 3-1 away win at Fiorentina.

Despite not being among the favourites in the pre-tournament betting odds (25.00), Napoli can go far in Europe this season under Conte. Partenopei would send out a real signal of intent to their rivals with a win in Manchester.

Naturally, Man City are the strong favourites to win on their own patch. Guardiola’s men are available at 1.67 to start the league phase with three points.

Even though Napoli have won their opening three games of the season, the Italians are the underdogs at the Etihad at 4.90. Also, the draw is priced at 4.00.

Haaland had made a stunning start to his season. The Norway international has netted 11 goals already, with nine coming in his last four games for club and country. Haaland will want to open his Champions League account in midweek, and City’s No. 9 is generously priced at 3.80 to score first.
