Napoli have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Italian top flight when they visit Como on Sunday afternoon.
Como are 12 places below their visitors in the standings and more than 25 points separate the two sides. But what's important for the hosts is that they are five points clear of the bottom three. Cesc Fàbregas' side go into Sunday's game full of confidence after recording their first ever victory against Fiorentina last Sunday.
Napoli meanwhile picked up just one point against top four chasers Lazio at Stadio Olimpico last weekend. The Gli Azzuri are now winless in three games, all draws, and will be hoping to end that run this weekend. Conte and Co. only remain at the top of the table because of the form of Inter Milan, so failure to beat Como this weekend will have huge consequences.
Como vs Napoli Betting Tips: Napoli to win
Napoli may be on a three-match winless streak but they have been very good to watch on the road in the Italian top flight this season. Indeed, Antonio Conte's men have lost just once away from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona this season, and no team has picked up more points on the road than the Blues.
Como have not won at home since their 4-1 win over Udinese a month ago. In their last two games at this ground, I Biancoblù lost to Atalanta and Juventus, conceding exactly two goals in both outings, and I fancy a similar result this weekend.

Como team news
Alieu Fadera is available for selection this weekend after completing his two match ban against Fiorentina last weekend.
The Gambian professional will be hoping for a place in the XI, but he is unlikely to replace Assane Diao who scored his fourth goal of the campaign last time out.
Iván Azón and Ignace Van der Brempt are unavailable due to calf and muscle injuries, while Dele Alli is a doubt due to fitness.

Napoli team news
Leonardo Spinazzola has missed Napoli’s last three games due to a thigh injury and Sunday’s game will come too soon for the Left-back.
The Blues’ injury list also includes David Neres and Mathías Olivera who are dealing with hamstring and calf injuries, respectively.
