Europa League Napoli- Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk

Napoli- Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk

I think that the visitors have been underestimated , they are very tight defensively and ahead of their win over Club Brugge I spoke about their desire to make their mark both domestically and internationally and the fitness advantage they hold over the other three clubs in the competition ......

This is their 18th start since the long winter break and they should be more or less at premium fitness levels, they have conceded just twice in eleven starts and one of those was a domistic cup game I suspect they were "happy" to led slide with league and Europa League priorities. My instinct is to take the visitors with the handicap start, as I feel that Napoli have made a habit of starting slowly in recent games ( took 50 mins to score against the 10 men of Milan, were 3-0 down at the break to Empoli and behind through 30 mins at home to Sampdoria) and with Dnipro so tough to break down anyway, it might take time for this to get going and that will suit the visitors. Dnipro are more than just a defensive unit , Nikola Kalinic and Eugen Seleznev are prolific upfront and Yevhen Konoplyanka on the left wing has had half the bigger clubs in the EPL trailing him. Europa League semi final first leg games have not been as tight as those in the Champions League, which we looked at on Tuesday, but have still tended to take 30 minutes or so to get going, with teams desperate not to concede early and Rafael Benitez has also erred on the side of caution in his previous European semi finals (first legs). All things considered, I feel the best value is Dnipro +0.5 ball 2.03 First Half betting asian line/Sportmarket. You should be able to get the same (better?) by betting the HT draw and away on the exchanges later in the day, once liquidity increases.

I have to disagree with you as I see that in totally different way. Insigne's comeback means that Napoli have as much as five equally quality players for LW/RW/AMC (Callejon, Gabbiadini, Hamsik, Mertens, Insigne) and thus they are able to keep the pace up all the time as Rafa is used to making some changes for those positions around 60'.

It can be found interesting "facts" just going through some statistics but it doesn't mean anything if you really don't have any logical reason or a vast sample behind.
