Serie A: Napoli vs Chievo Verona Odds and Betting Preview

NAPOLI, ITALY - Seventh placed Napoli host fourteenth placed Chievo this Monday evening at the world famous Stadio San Paulo. Napoli are strong favourites for the game, priced at 8/15 with Paddy Power to pick up their first win in six games and step up their chase to secure European football next year.

A draw is best priced at 3/1 with Boyle Sports and Chievo can be backed at best odds of 7/1 with BetVictor to get back to winning ways following last Sunday's 2-1 loss at home to Parma.

In the total goals market, over 2.5 goals is priced at Evens with Ladbrokes and under 2.5 goals is priced at top odds of 5/6 with Stan James. 54.5% of Napoli's home games have gone over 2.5 goals and 63.6% of Chievo's away games have involved more than 2.5 goals.

Napoli's season has lost some of its lustre since the turn of the year but a win over Chievo would be a big boost in confidence for Walter Mazzarri's men.

For much of the early part of the campaign, Napoli were contenders to battle for the scudetto. However, a slump in form in 2012 has seen them drop to seventh place, 16 points behind Serie A leaders AC Milan.

Edinson Cavani is the bookies favourite to open the scoring, priced at 7/2 with Sportingbet. In the same market, Lavezzi is priced at 5/1 with Paddy Power, Pandev is priced at 11/2 with Boyle Sports and Eduardo Vargas is top priced at 11/2 with bet365 to break the deadlock in today's game.

Chievo were beaten 2-1 by Parma last time out and lie in 14th place, four points below Napoli. The Flying Donkeys have won just one of their last four games but will be buoyed by their recent record against Napoli.

Chievo have beaten them in their last three league meetings and they will be hoping to exploit the fact that he hosts will be without suspended captain Paolo Cannavaro.

In the correct score market, a 1-1 draw is priced at 15/2 with Coral, a 2-0 win for Napoli is priced at 6/1 with betinternet and a 1-0 win for the Blues is priced at 11/2 with BetVictor. A goalless draw is priced at 11/1 with betinternet and a repeat of Chievo's 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture from earlier in the season is best priced at 14/1 with bet365.

The game is scheduled to kick-off at 19;45 GMT.
