Why Bet on Napoli?

Last season was magical for Napoli, winning their first Serie A in over 30 years and reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but the goal for the new campaign is to improve at the European level.

In the last Champions League match they struggled, but won 2-1 against Sporting Braga in Portugal. In the Italian league, they thrashed Lecce 4-0 with a goal by Victor Osimhen.

The Nigerian striker has been marked by controversy with the club on social networks but has since scored two goals in two games, reaffirming that in Italy he is one of the best number 9s.

Within Italian soccer, they are one of the best offenses with 16 goals and their defense has been at a good level, with six goals conceded in seven games.

For now, the main concern for coach Rudi Garcia is that he has not been able to count on defender Amir Rahmani, who has been the leader of the defense after the departure of Kim Min-Jae.

Why Bet on Real Madrid?

Despite the setback suffered in LaLiga against Atlético de Madrid, Real Madrid has made an excellent start to the season, winning eight out of nine matches.

In their Champions League debut, they defeated Union Berlin 1-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu with an agonizing goal by Englishman Jude Bellingham, who is proving to be the Spanish club’s best player.

In the last LaLiga match, he scored a goal and assisted another in the 3-0 victory over Girona, so the ‘Merengues’ are leaders with 21 points. Bellingham so far has seven goals with the ‘Casa Blanca’.

Despite criticism for not signing a quality center forward, Joselu has responded with four conversions so far. In addition, the team already counts on the recovered Vinícius Jr.

Carlo Ancelotti will be without Thibaut Courtois and Éder Militao, who both have long-term injuries. David Alaba is also in doubt.
