Coppa Italia: Siena v Napoli Odds and Betting Preview

SIENA, ITALY - Napoli travel to Siena for the two Serie A sides' Coppa Italia semi-final first leg on Thursday evening with neither side in great form in the league.

Siena are unbeaten in three matches at home in Serie A; a run that includes a 1-1 draw with Napoli on January 22nd. They also beat Lazio 4-0 and drew 0-0 with Fiorentina, so the Tuscan side will be confident of at least earning a draw in their bid to win the club's first ever major trophy.

Napoli are top priced 1/3 favourites with bet365 to qualify from this tie.
