THE FEAR OF CONCEDING AN EARLY GOAL - DRAW AT HALF TIME

This season is not what fans expected from their beloved team. After ending last year 3rd, Napoli is placed now on 7th, 5 points from an Europa League place and 10 from another Champions League presence.
The good parts of this season are coming from the qualifications in the European Spring - UEFA Champions League - and in the semifinals of Coppa Italia. A season in UCL requires always a sacrifice in the internal competition - mainly if the club is not an usual presence here.
... but a season without a trophy would be too much for Napoli, so the Cup competition is very important.
Napoli comes in this match fully effective and with the morale boosted after the 0-0 obtained against AC Milan. Napoli has huge problems when playing away. They have just 3 wins in Italy in last 15 away matches! They met Siena in Serie A few weeks ago and almost got defeated.
Siena is just 3 points above relegation area, made a 0-0 to Juventus, a huge result and will try to not concede here! A 0-0 here or a 1-0 is the golden result. Napoli is inconsistent and suffered at home against Cesena, so Siena has natural hopes.
Siena has some great players like Vergassola, D'Agostino, Destro, Brienza, Del Grosso and Calaio. I expect to try a revenge from the last one. Calaio has been one of the most important players in the Napoli squad when they managed the promotion in Serie A few years ago. But he was sold in that summer.
No important absentees on the two squads!
I expect a tight game, with Siena trying to defend and to surprise Napoli on counters. Napoli is great on counterattacks, but I do not think here will be the case.
Both teams will try to not concede goals. A match with one goal would be ideal for any of these team that will manage to score it.
Therefor, I see a good price in this X at half time! Remember is a Cup game, the Napoli meeting will follow and the teams will have a different attitude than the usual one in Serie A.
Enjoy!
