Liverpool vs Napoli preview
While Jurgen Klopp can have very few complaints about his side’s performances this season, a lack of solidity at the back has meant few of the recent victories have been completely comfortable.
The European champions have only kept three clean sheets in 20 matches so far this campaign, conceding in each of their most recent 10 in succession.
Despite their poor recent form, the Partenopei will back themselves to extend that run considering they have only failed to score three times in 18 matches this season.
Liverpool vs Napoli predictions
Indeed, odds of 7/10 (1.70) look like solid value on both teams finding the net for Liverpool’s 11th consecutive game, as well as a seventh in eight for Napoli.
Both teams to score at 7/10 (1.70) for a 2.5pt stake with 888Sport
