Betting Tips for Today: Napoli can rack up the goals against Red Star

Champions League Group C is one of the most competitive of this year's tournament. The four teams are separated by just two points and each will still harbour hopes of a place in the knockout stages.

Napoli come into matchday five top of the table and they're just 2/15 (1.13) to secure a victory here. Red Star shocked Liverpool in their last outing and it's 20/1 (21.0) that they do likewise here. Meanwhile, the draw is available at 7/1 (8.0).

While the visitors' famous win over Jurgen Klopp's men was unexpected, it's tough to see them repeating the trick here. In fact, Champions League games on the road have been extremely tough for the Serbian side to handle this term.

Beaten 6-1 by Paris Saint-Germain and 4-0 at Anfield, it's tough to see past an impressive Napoli side coming out on top by some distance.

With 10 goals conceded in their two away games thus far, the 22/25 (1.88) about Napoli finding the net on at least three occasions looks the way to go for punters.  

6/5 (2.20) is available on the home side winning by three or more goals but given their defence isn’t the most convincing, the team goals option should be the selection.

Arguably, Carlo Ancelotti's men should have a more substantial advantage in the group given how well they played in Paris, where the French champions were fortunate to take a share of the spoils.

Napoli were held to a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture but there has been a huge difference in Red Star's performance levels on the road in this competition and that could be the case again.

With a power-packed forward line that has averaged two goals a game domestically, this the best opportunity for the hosts to put some breathing room between themselves and their Group C rivals.

At 22/25 (1.88) Napoli are well capable of racking up the goals against a Red Star side that have been outplayed on each of their two away games in this competition so far.
