Manchester City v Napoli – Thursday, 8pm

Punters can bet on Manchester City v Napoli with William Hill

• Having lost two of their first three games in the new Premier League season, Manchester City bounced back in style on Sunday afternoon with a comfortable 3-0 victory over rivals Manchester United, with confidence now flowing through this side ahead of the visit of Napoli.
• Despite a goalless draw here at the Etihad Stadium in Matchday 1 last season against Inter Milan, City have a good record at home against Italian sides having lost just one of their previous nine meetings.
• Pep Guardiola’s side are also unbeaten in their last twenty-one group/league matches on home soil in the UEFA Champions League, although they’ve seen both teams on the scoresheet in six of their last seven UCL games home and away.
  ——————————–
• Napoli have strengthened their squad after winning the Scudetto last season and that’s shown already this season, having won each of their first three games as they aim to defend their title, including an impressive 3-1 victory away at Fiorentina on Saturday night.
• The bad news for Antonio Conte ahead of this one is the clubs history in England, having not won any of their previous ten away matched in England, drawing three and losing seven, they have however lost just once in their last eight Matchday 1 fixtures in the UCL.
• These two sides have faced each other four times in the UEFA Champions League and each of those meetings have seen both teams on the scoresheet, more of the same on Thursday night wouldn’t be a surprise, with the home side just edging it.
