Dnipro v Napoli Betting Tips and Predictions

Dnipro v Napoli predictions and betting tips for the Europa League semi-final second leg, the score is 1-1 from last week.

 

Dnipro have given themselves a fantastic chance of reaching the final with their stoic performance in Italy. They had just 30% of the possession but managed to limit Napoli to just one goal, and in the dying embers of the game Yevhen Seleznyov managed to snatch an equaliser to give the Ukrainians a vital away goal.

 

Dnipro v Napoli Predictions

 

Napoli go into the match knowing that they must score an away goal if they are to reach the final. They will be confident of their chances given they have the best attack in the competition, notching 26 goals so far in Europe this season.

 

However, after a 2-2 draw with the already relegated Parma in Serie A, Rafa Benitez’s side know that their only realistic hope of qualifying for the Champions League is by winning this competition.

 

The Italians away record in Europe is not the best, winning just six of their last 20 away from Naples, but they are unbeaten in their last four, including a 4-0 victory in Turkey against Trabzonspor and a highly efficient 4-1 win against Wolfsburg. 

 

Dnipro showed a great defensive resolve in Italy, but failed to repeat this form domestically as they succumbed to a 2-0 home defeat to Zorya, which left them nibe points behind Dynamo Kiev in the Ukrainian Premier League.

 

In Europe however, Dnipro have won seven of their last 10 at home and boast a great defensive record, conceding just three goals in these matches. Napoli’s usually prolific attack will have to be better than they were at home to overcome the Ukrainians stout defending in Dnipro v Napoli on Thursday night.

 

Dnipro will be missing Serhiy Kravchenko and Roman Zozulya, whilst Yevhen Shakhov remains doubtful. Napoli have no fresh injury concerns and Gonzalo Higuain should be reinvigorated after being rested at the weekend against Parma.

 

Myron Markevych’s side have not conceded an away goal in their last four European fixtures, but I think that Napoli will break them down as they look to secure a place in the final. I feel Dnipro will play to their strengths and try to defend their slender away goal advantage. Ultimately I see Dnipro’s lack of firepower as being the deciding factor in the game. Napoli have quality in abundance up front and I can see Higuain, Callejon and Hamsik firing them to the final.

 

Our tipsters’ first Dnipro v Napoli betting tip is for Napoli to win, odds of 20/21 can be found with Bet Victor.

 

Gonzalo Higuain has scored 11 goals in his last 20 European matches and I think he will fire his side to victory.

 

Get odds of 6/4 with Betfair for him to be an anytime goalscorer which is our second Dnipro v Napoli prediction for the Europa League semi-final.

 

Games at the Dnipro-Arena are usually low scoring affairs, and as I think the Ukrainian will try to keep things tight, I see this game being another low scorer.
