Allegri will frustrate Farioli's Five
FC Porto and Napoli will face off at Estadio do Dragao in Portugal on Wednesday night with Napoli needing to build on their three-point advantage over the Dragões in 22nd and 34th place respectively.
Farioli's men are the form favourites for the game, having won three of their last five and drawn blanks on none in that time. Their 0-1 home defeat to PSV was followed by a 0-1 win at Gil Vicente and a 4-0 thumping of Estoril Praia at home, the two results of the last week.
Napoli's last three matches have been much more eventful, the 3-3 draw with Roma being followed by a 4-1 thrashing of Monza on the road and a 2-0 defeat in Turin to Juventus at the weekend.
There is a clash of styles here that should make for a very tense match, with Napoli perhaps the more likely to nick the win.
Farioli's team are a high-tempo side, built around a positional game that can create turnovers in dangerous areas. Napoli, however, are a lower-tempo, block, absorb and strike side with a much more pragmatic approach.
That should suit Napoli, who can absorb Porto's pressure, punish them on the break and keep their attack quiet. Scott McTominay has been their main finisher recently, hitting four of their 10 goals in the last five, while Matteo Politano has been their creative force with three assists in the same games.
Borja Sainz has been Porto's sharp edge, getting three of their 10 in the same period, and he will be their best hope of unlocking the Napoli defence.
The away price on Napoli to win looks very attractive at 3.55, and with Over 2.5 goals coming in at 1.7 we should see enough action to get both teams on the scoresheet, and Both Teams to Score - No, with the visitors keeping Porto out, seems like a good play at 2.2.
