Man City strong at home: 14 wins in last 18 UCL home matches.
Napoli in good domestic form but struggle in England.
Erling Haaland is in exceptional scoring form.
Best bets: City win, both teams to score (BTTS), Haaland to score anytime.

Manchester City vs Napoli Tips

Napoli are in great form but they don't have a very good record in England. BTTS is certainly on in this game but I fancy the hosts to edge it.

Head to Head
Manchester City Form
Napoli Form

Man City have won 14 of their last 18 home matches (Champions League).
Man City have won 6 of their last 7 home matches.
Erling Haaland has scored 11 goals in his last 6 matches for Man City & Norway.
Napoli have scored in 17 of their last 19 away matches.

Head to Head

Manchester City have a 2-1 advantage against Napoli with 1 draw in 4 matches.

Manchester City Form

Manchester City are having a disappointing start to the new Premier League season, securing just six points in four matches.

Pep Guardiola’s side earned a 4-0 statement win over Wolves in the opening round, Erling Haaland scoring a brace, Rayan Cherki and Tijani Reijnders also on target, but then lost two games in a row to Tottenham 3-0 and Brighton 2-1.

The Cityzens returned to winning ways last weekend with a 3-0 home win over archrival Manchester United, Haaland starring once again scoring a brace, Phil Foden also finding the net, while Jeremy Doku registered two assists.

Napoli Form

After winning the Serie A title previous season in a spectacular fashion, Napoli are once again off to a fantastic start in Italy, winning all three games.

Antonio Conte’s side defeated returnees Sassuolo 2-0 in Reggio Emilia in the opening match, then edged out Cagliari 1-0 in front of the home crowd.

They returned from the international break with a 3-1 win at Fiorentina last weekend, Kevin De Bruyne and Rasmus Hojlund scoring early, while Sam Beukema finished the job in the 53rd minute.

Verdict

Man City v Napoli

Napoli are off to a fantastic start in Serie A, but they tend to struggle against English teams away from home, losing five of their last six such contests. Man City have been dominant at home in the UCL in recent years, so a home win & BTTS stands out as a value bet.

Erling Haaland has scored six goals in his last two appearances for Norway and also netted against Man Utd, Brighton and Wolves. I expect him to continue his scoring run on Thursday.
