UEFA Europa League picks for Leicester City vs. Napoli
Before you tune in to Thursday's match, you need to see the Napoli vs. Leicester City picks from soccer insider Jon Eimer. He is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge about leagues and players most people don't know exist, including most oddsmakers. He understands that oddsmakers don't focus on obscure leagues, so Eimer has become obsessed with learning everything possible about smaller leagues. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
For Leicester City vs. Napoli, Eimer is betting over 2.5 goals for a -140 payout. These are two free-flowing clubs with plenty of attacking prowess, and it showed in the first matchup. The two teams drew 2-2 and there were a total of 12 shots on target and 29 shot attempts.
Leicester City sits 11th in the Premier League table and this is likely its best chance into the Champions League next season, while Napoli sits third in Serie A but has been fading and would love to keep all avenues open. The Italian side will be without Victor Osimhen and Lorenzo Insigne, but should still field a strong side, while Leicester City is expecting Youri Tielemans to make his return.
Tielemans opens up the game plan for Leicester City, which should have Jamie Vardy, Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka available in attack. It's a good bet that Napoli also gets on the board with Leicester conceding in 15 consecutive matches and allowing a total of 27 goals during that stretch. That's why Eimer also sees value on both teams to score.
