18.00: Cagliari v Napoli – Napoli to Win & Both Teams to Score
At the time of writing, Cagliari are 17th on 21 points after 25 games and with 18th and 19th, Venezia and Genoa facing each other on Saturday they could find themselves in the relegation zone here. Napoli, depending on how both Milan clubs get on this weekend could be in a position to take top spot in the Serie A title race with a win here. If they both lose or draw at least, Napoli could wrestle first place from AC Milan with a victory here.
The home side have been in decent league form of late it must be said, winning two, drawing two and losing one over their last five in the league while on home soil things aren’t as good but they’ve still been tough to beat, winning one, drawing three and losing one of their last five. Napoli have won four of their last five in the league, drawing the other and their away trips have seen them winning three and drawing two over their last five on their travels. The hosts have been averaging 1.25 goals per home game so far this campaign while Napoli have been averaging 1.92 and with the home side scoring in eight of their last nine on home soil we can see them getting one although the visitors are by far the stronger of the two. Napoli to Win and Both Teams to Score has the value here.
20.00: Bologna v Spezia – Spezia Double Chance
Bologna are dangerously sliding down the Serie A table and have only won one of their last nine Serie A games. Of their five most previous they’ve lost four and drawn one and on home soil things are only slightly better where they’ve won one, drawn one and lost three, scoring just three goals and conceding seven.
Spezia have won three of their last five in the league, drawing one and losing one and share the same record on their league travels, scoring six and conceding five. The home side are the favourites here but their form is dire while Spezia are actually on the up. We’re opposing the home side here, the value is with Spezia to Win or Draw.

20.00: Celta Vigo v Levante – Celta Vigo to Win & Over 1.5 Goals
Celta Vigo have been in very good form of late in all competitions, losing just two of their last 10 games. In La Liga they’ve won two of their last five, drawing two and losing one while on home turf at the Abanca-Balaidos they’ve won three, drawing one and losing one, scoring nine and conceding four.
Levante are on just 14 points after 24 games and have won just one away La Liga game all season, in fairness it was an impressive 0-1 victory over Atletico Madrid last Wednesday but they’ve lost nine of their 12 away games this season and in facing a Vigo side in good shape they’re unlikely to come away with anything positive here.
You’d fully expect the home side to take the three points. They‘ve scored at least two goals in three of their last five home/away league games and in all three of their most recent home La Liga games, with those stats we have to go with Celta Vigo to Win and Over 1.5 Goals here.
Monday’s treble:
18.00: Cagliari v Napoli – Napoli to Win & Both Teams to Score
20.00: Bologna v Spezia – Spezia Double Chance
20.00: Celta Vigo v Levante – Celta Vigo to Win & Over 1.5 Goals
