Why Eintracht Frankfurt is a Good Bet versus Napoli

Frankfurt hadn’t played well, losing the first leg in this Champions League Round of 16 aggregate to Napoli and then dropping a match 2-1 to RB Leipzig.

But since the two losses, the road dog in this has stepped up, drawing against a pair of tough Bundesliga rivals: Wolfsburg and Stuttgart. Not only that, but Frankfurt faces a Napoli side that might relax more than it should due to the 2-goal lead. The door is open for Frankfurt to pull off the upset win.

Why Napoli is a Good Bet versus Eintracht Frankfurt

Napoli has won 4-of-5 with a single loss. The loss was a 1-0 match versus rival Lazio.

Nobody should worry about the Serie A leader losing to Lazio. Napoli bounced back with a stunning 2-0 win over another rival, Atalanta.

But the loss to Lazio was more of an outlier than many might believe. The loss was the first in the last 8 matches.

Final Betting Analysis: Napoli at Eintracht Frankfurt

Frankfurt could catch Napoli relaxing too much, but that’s doubtful. The favorite in this rarely plays a bad match.

The loss to Lazio was by a single goal. The last loss was a 3-2 match versus Villareal in a meaningless club friendly. The last draw was a 2-2 Coppa Italia game against Cremonese.

In matches where Napoli cared, and this is one of those, they’ve rocked. So we shouldn’t expect the favored squad to pull back even though they have a 2-0 aggregate lead.

In fact, if anything, Napoli will want to put on a show. The match happens in front of their fans. Not only that, but Napoli knows nobody believes they’re for real, that when push comes to shove, Napoli will fold against teams like Man City and Bayern.

On Wednesday, Napoli proves that’s not the case. The home team to cover the handicap is a solid play.
