Napoli lost six points from the last three rounds, but didn't lose the lead in the standings. They also missed the chance to break away from the other teams. Will Antonio Conte's team manage to get back on form after three draws in a row away against Como? We've got a prediction and some bets on the first match of the Sunday tour in the 26th round of Serie A.

Cesc's team played Fiorentina in the last round, and before that they'd lost three games on the bounce. At home, Como lost 1:2 to Atalanta and Juventus and 0:2 to Bologna away. But in Florence, the Blues and Whites not only stopped that run of defeats, they beat a team in the European Cup too. In this game, Como didn't let much go on in their end, and scored a goal in each half. First, Assane Diao scored, and then Nico Paz did.
Como won an important victory from a tournament point of view, and now they've got 25 points, which puts them 13th in the league standings. They're five points ahead of the relegation zone.
Napoli
The Neapolitans are still top of the league, but they're only two points ahead of second-placed Inter, even though the Nerazzurri have won just one Serie A match out of the last four.The fact is that Antonio Conte's team hasn't won for three rounds in a row. First, Napoli missed a victory in the end of the away game with Roma – 1:1, then at home they surprisingly didn't cope with Udinese – 1:1. Napoli played in Rome again in the last round, this time against Lazio. The Neapolitans lost 0:1, then led 2:1, but conceded again at the very end of the game, ending the match 2:2. Napoli is still the main favourite and leader of the current championship, but Conte's team didn't take the chance to get a comfortable lead. Now that Atalanta and Juventus are out of the running, it'll be much harder to do.

Expert Betting Tips
After three draws in a row, it's unlikely Napoli will lose again, but Conte's team might miss their top spot at the end of the round. We don't think that'll happen, and the odds on the league leader winning are surprisingly high. Como play attractive football, but they're not quite there yet in terms of playing to the score and adapting to the opposition, as evidenced by their home defeats to almost all other Serie A leaders, like Juventus, Atalanta, and Milan. We're going for Napoli's victory here, and for goals, because the odds on TO seem a bit overvalued, even if you take into account the impressive football of Como.
