Manchester City vs Napoli
Double chance : Manchester City or draw
Manchester City have had a mixed run of results lately. They won their most recent game by a wide margin, but they also lost and drew in some of their other recent matches, so they are not in perfect form. Napoli, on the other hand, have been a bit more inconsistent. They won two of their last five games, but also lost twice and drew once, including a heavy defeat in their most recent outing.
The two teams have only met once recently, and that game was decided by a two-goal margin. Given that both sides have shown they can be strong or vulnerable, this looks like it could be a close and open contest. However, since Manchester City are playing at home and have been scoring plenty of goals, they seem the more likely side to come out on top in a tight match.
