Union Berlin vs Napoli Betting Tips: Napoli to win / Over 2.5 goals

Last season´s Bundesliga surprise package have endured a miserable run of form in this campaign. Suffering eight successive defeats, the Berlin side have suffered a massive downturn in form which sees them 14th domestically. 

Having secured an unlikely top-four finish to secure qualification to the Champions League for the first time in their history, Union´s season is already in danger of going up in smoke. 

Having lost just two of 51 previous home Bundesliga matches, Urs Fischer´s side have now lost three on the bounce on home soil, while they also fell to a 3:2 reversal against Braga in their temporary Olympiastadion home. 

The Bundesliga underdogs now face the visit of Serie A champions Napoli who arrive in Berlin boosted by a 3-1 weekend win at Verona.

While the Italians have also struggled to replicate the levels of last season, the Neopolitans will fancy their chances of picking up a first Champions League victory of the season.

On the road, Napoli have won four of their last six matches and four of their last six away UCL contests. 

Goals seem likely on Tuesday with both teams' last ten matches seeing an average of 3.4 goals scored. Napoli have scored at least two in five of their last six away from home, and I expect similar outcomes in Berlin.
