Lecce vs Napoli Betting Tips - Under 2.5 Goals
Napoli continue their pursuit of Serie A title glory when they take on relegation-threatened Lecce this weekend.
A fine run of form, largely inspired by talismanic Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay, has seen Antonio Conte's men return to the summit of the division with just four games still to play. Four wins picked up from five games, with five goals scored by the Scot, leave the Gli Azzurri three points clear of champions Inter.
Since a 3:0 defeat against Verona on the opening day of the season, Napoli have performed well on their travels. Conte's men won nine and lost just one of their next 16 away Serie A matches, including a 1:0 win at Monza two weeks ago.
Lecce return to action after a hard-fought point gained on the road in Bergamo against Atalanta last weekend. Jesper Karlsson's first goal for the club secured a potentially vital point for the Salentini.
Despite picking up a positive result in Bergamo, Marco Giampaolo's side remain winless in 11 Serie A matches and sit only two points above the drop zone.
While unlikely to be an easy day at the office, Napoli's renewed sense of urgency and return to winning form suggests they should have the confidence to claim the points on Saturday.
I'm backing Napoli to win a likely low-scoring encounter at Stadio Ettore Giardiniero.
