Man City vs. Napoli prediction, expert picks- Manchester City money line -150 (1 unit)
- Erling Haaland to score +100 (0.5 units)
- Kevin De Bruyne to score or assist +220 (0.25 units)
"Cherki, Marmoush, Aït-Nouri, and Mateo Kovačić are all injured, but City should still have enough quality to beat Napoli," Green said. "Ballon d'Or winner Rodri has recovered from a long-term injury, and he should boss this game in midfield" Man City is priced at -150 odds at DraftKings where new users can use the latest DraftKings promo code to bet as a new user and get $200 in bonus bets instantly as well as over $200 off NFL Sunday Ticket:
Erling Haaland to score (+100)"They (Man City) began the season by thrashing Wolves, 4-0. Star striker Erling Haaland scored twice, and Reijnders and Cherki were also on target," Green said. "City then suffered back-to-back defeats against Spurs and Brighton, but they bounced back with a 3-0 win against Man Utd on Sunday. Haaland has scored 11 goals in just six games for club and country this season, and he could cause problems for Napoli's defense."
