After the historic qualifying for the next stage of the Champions League, Napoli back to play in Serie A, and winning today they can start climbing to the top places. They will face Novara at the Stadio SIlvio Piola, who is fighting for the maintenance and who despite all has his turf field as his best friend.
Novara is not living a good moment: they cannot count with Meggioroni (suspended), Morimoto, Lacci and Lisuzzo, all injured. And maybe also Centurioni. Doubts also in Napoli after the tiring game at Villarreal, they may rest a couple of players.
No doubt that Napoli is superior than Novara and they will prefer to solve the game soon, to after control the score and their fit levels. I think we will see a Napoli control the midfield with Dossena supporting the attack. In front, Lavezzi with his speed, Hamsik and Pandev with his killer instinct can cause problems in the central defence of Novara, where specially Ludi have problems with quick forwards. Novara will be very pressured and Napoli will create enough chances to win the game.
Visiting players are now as a deflated balloon after great results in the Champions League. I was watching Novara in their attempt to join the Serie A. The team really has the spirit, with a great coach and good support from the stands they could make a good result today against Napoli. I will wait until tonight to be sure that they have recovered from injuries strikers Morimoto and Jeda, defenders and Paci Morganella and midfielder Pinard, and then decide whether I'll bet on DNB Novara. There are great chances for that.
