Chievo v Napoli Match Preview and Betting Tips

February 2nd 2011, 7.45pm GMT

Chievo come into this game having avoided defeat in their last four games. They have only won once in 2011 however, this win coming when they visited Brescia last Sunday.

Napoli also secured a convincing win last time out, beating Sampdoria 4-0 at the Stadio San Paolo. They have conceded just once in their five league games in 2011, and striker Edinson Cavani is in unstoppable form, with two hat-tricks to his name this season so far.

Napoli haven’t lost since they visited Udinese in November, and although Chievo’s form has been more consistent since the winter break, they face a daunting task in attempting to prevent Napoli’s impressive attack force from claiming another three points.
