Manchester City : form and statistics

Manchester City has long since lost its prime, yet analysts are still expecting new miracles from Pep Guardiola that haven’t happened so far. After four rounds in the Premier League, the Citizens haven’t shown their best form. The crushing wins over Wolverhampton and Manchester United are, of course, impressive, but the defeats to Tottenham and Brighton look very painful. Because of this, City so far can’t compete with Arsenal and Liverpool for the top spot.

Napoli : form and statistics

At the start of the new season, Napoli has made its intentions for the Scudetto clear. The team has won three out of three matches, showing excellent play both in attack and in defense. Over this period, the Neapolitans have scored six goals and conceded only one — 2–0 against Sassuolo, 1–0 against Cagliari, and 3–1 against Fiorentina. Naturally, with such results, the club is sitting comfortably at the top of the table, ahead of second-placed Juventus on tiebreakers.

Manchester City vs Napoli Match Prediction 18 September 2025

Bookmakers have written Napoli off — something we wouldn’t recommend doing. Napoli have made a brilliant start to the new season: the club looks excellent in attack and solid at the back. The same can’t be said about Manchester City. In their games against Brighton and Tottenham, the Citizens struggled with finishing, while their defense was in complete disarray. In our opinion, the safest option here is to bet on both teams to score.
