MANCHESTER CITY V NAPOLI BETTING FORM

Pep Guardiola’s wish for a smaller squad has been granted, but unfortunately for him, that comes in the form of over ten first-team players out injured, including Oscar Marmoush, John Stones, and Phil Foden.

Coupled with a less-than-ideal start to the Premier League season, City will be looking to make a solid start to their Champions League campaign in the hopes of getting their hands on the trophy they secured back in 2023.

MANCHESTER CITY RECENT FORM

LOSS: Brighton 2-1 Man City, 31st August 2025

LOSS: Man City 0-2 Tottenham, 23rd August 2025

WIN: Wolves 0-4 Man City, 16th August 2025

Napoli make the trip to the Etihad for the third time in their history, except this time, they bring a City legend with them. Kevin De Bruyne has 5 goal contributions in 4 games for club and country (4 goals, 1 assist). Is it written in the stars for ‘King Kev’ to haunt his former club?

NAPOLI RECENT FORM

WIN: Napoli 1-0 Cagliari, 30th August 2025

WIN: Sassuolo 0-2 Napoli, 23rd August 2025

WHAT ARE THE BEST ODDS ON MANCHESTER CITY V NAPOLI?

Even with their mini-injury crisis, Manchester City come into the opening game week of the Champions League as favourites in their tie against Italian champions Napoli. City are currently 8/13, or if you prefer our 2 Up market, you can get them at 4/7.

Napoli come into their third tie at the Etihad looking for their first win, and this is reflected in their price of 4/1, or 18/5 in our 2 Up market. The draw is priced at 3/1.

This will be the fifth time these two sides have met each other in this competition. Manchester City have come out victorious on two occasions, whilst Napoli secured their only victory against City all the way back in 2011.

This fixture has never been short on goals, with both teams scoring in all four previous fixtures. If you believe history can repeat itself, you can back Both Teams to Score at 8/11.

MANCHESTER CITY V NAPOLI FOOTBALL SPREAD BETTING PRICES

Our football spread betting prices have the Goal Supremacy as Man City/Napoli at 0.8 - 1. This means a 'buy' bet at 1 would need City to win by at least two goals to start turning a profit (e.g., one one-goal win would win 0x your stake, two-goal win 1x your stake, three-goal win 2x your stake, etc.).

A 0.8 'sell' bet would need either a draw or a Napoli win to turn a profit (e.g., a draw would win 0.8x your stake, a one-goal Napoli win 1.8x your stake, etc.).

Our spread betting Total Goals line is 2.9 – 3.1. This means a 3.1 'buy' bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a 2.9 ‘sell’ bet would need two goals or fewer to be scored in the match to turn a profit. The last time these two sides met back in 2017, there was a total of 6 goals in the match.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. For example, a 3.1 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 3.1x your stake if the match ended 0-0. In the 1.0 'buy' Supremacy bet example above, if the game ended in a draw, the bet would lose 1x your stake. If Napoli won by one goal, then it would lose 2x your stake, etc. And in the 0.8 'sell' Supremacy example above, the bet would lose 0.2x your stake on a 1-0 Manchester City win, 1.2x your stake on a 2-0 Manchester City win, etc.

We also have our Player Goal Minutes markets, which will be live a few days before the game. Can you see ‘KDB’ making an impact at the Etihad in a different shade of sky blue?
