They have been installed as 7/4 underdogs by bet365 to win the first leg of their tie with Chelsea and that seems a crazy price, given the contrasting fortunes of both teams.Chelsea, who are as low as 11/8 at Sky Bet to win the Stadio San Paolo, have been unconvincing this season both at home and abroad. They have dropped Premier League points against Wigan, Fulham, QPR and Stoke while they were beaten in the Champions League by Bayer Leverkusen and held to a draw by Genk. That is hardly the form of a side that can succeed where Manchester City, Villarreal and Bayern Munich failed and win in Naples.Napoli are a side that enjoy counter attacking, even when playing at home, and they will happily allow Chelsea to control possession and hit the Blues on the break. Walter Mazzarri will have no problems watching David Luiz and John Terry join in attacks, safe in the knowledge that Marek Hamsik, Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi can pop up with a goal any second.This is bad news for Chelsea as they are a team that has shown time and again under Villas-Boas that they don't perform well against sides that can hurt them on the break. Manchester United won 3-1 against the Blues, Arsenal beat them 5-3 and Liverpool won twice at Anfield. They beat Manchester City but that was due to the Citizens being denied a penalty and having a player sent off. If that kind of luck doesn't befall Napoli then they will win in the San Paolo and 9/5 at Bwin that the Italians qualify could look very good come the final whistle.RecommendationsWin Market - Napoli (7/4, bet365)To Qualify - Napoli (9/5, Bwin) Read our Ladbrokes review Use code MAXIMUMBONUS to get £50 free at Ladbrokes Like Like Post to wall 460 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles UEFA Champions League results - Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona in pictures25 May 2012Chelsea beat Barcelona 1-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a goal from Didier Drogba and some solid de Champions League 2012-13 Dates and Schedule23 May 2012A guide detailing all the important dates for next season’s Champions League competition Champions League 2012-13 Preview – Could Chelsea rule Europe again?22 May 2012The 2012-13 campaign will see Chelsea aim to defend the Champions League title they won by beating Champions League 2012-13 odds - Barcelona and Real Madrid both 4/121 May 2012Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, beaten semi-finalists this year, have been installed 4/1 UEFA Champions League 2012-2013 Complete Schedule and Fixture List21 May 2012A guide detailing all the fixtures and important dates for this season's UEFA Champions League comp Chelsea FC land odds of 80-1 to win UEFA Champions League20 May 2012Chelsea's UEFA Champions League victory was unexpected and caused havoc on betting exchanges with t More Stories Recent Articles Women's Olympic Handball Qualifiying Tournament - Watch live streaming matches on bet36526 May 2012Day 2 of the Women's Olympic Handball Qualifying Tournament continues in Lyon, Guadalajara and Aalb 20:55 Alexander Consulting Fillies' Handicap (Str)26 May 201220:55 Alexander Consulting Fillies' Handicap (Str) 20:40 Thakeham Homes Presents Franklins Gardens Handicap (AWT)26 May 201220:40 Thakeham Homes Presents Franklins Gardens Handicap (AWT) 20:25 KKA-Highpoint Handicap26 May 201220:25 KKA-Highpoint Handicap 20:10 Jill And Clive's Silver Anniversary Maiden Stakes (AWT)26 May 201220:10 Jill And Clive's Silver Anniversary Maiden Stakes (AWT) 19:50 Bathwick Tyres Maiden Stakes26 May 201219:50 Bathwick Tyres Maiden Stakes More Stories Tags Champions League Tips, Napoli V Chelsea Betting, Napoli V Chelsea Preview, Napoli V Chelsea Tips
