Napoli v Chelsea betting form

After clinching the Serie A title in dramatic fashion on the final day of last season, Napoli entered the new campaign aiming to deliver more success for the city. However, those ambitions have yet to be realised. The Naples side currently sit fourth in Serie A, nine points behind league leaders Inter Milan, and their European form has also been underwhelming. With only eight points from their first seven Champions League matches, Napoli are at risk of elimination. They now face a decisive final group game at home to Chelsea, knowing that at least a draw is required to secure a place in the Champions League play-off round.

NAPOLI RECENT FORM

LOSS: Juventus 3-0 Napoli. Sunday 25th January 2026.
DRAW: Copenhagen 1-1 Napoli. Tuesday 20th January 2026.
WIN: Napoli 1-0 Sassuolo. Saturday 17th January 2026.
DRAW: Napoli 0-0 Parma. Wednesday 14th January 2026.

Chelsea have recently undergone a managerial change, with Liam Rosenior taking charge, and the new boss has enjoyed an impressive start to his tenure. Rosenior has overseen five matches, winning four of them, and now requires another positive result to secure a top-eight finish in the Champions League and avoid an additional play-off round. Chelsea currently occupy the final automatic qualification spot, but are likely to need a victory in Naples to ensure they do not slip out of the top eight.

CHELSEA RECENT FORM

WIN: Crystal Palace 1-3 Chelsea. Sunday 25th January 2026.
WIN: Chelsea 1-0 Pafos. Wednesday 21st January 2026.
WIN: Chelsea 2-0 Brentford. Saturday 17th January 2026.
LOSS: Chelsea 2-3 Arsenal. Wednesday 14th January 2026.

Napoli v Chelsea football spread betting prices.

Our football spread betting prices have Chelsea as the favourites with a Goal Supremacy quote of Chelsea/Napoli (h) 0.15 – 0.35. This means a 'buy' bet at 0.35 would need a Chelsea win to start turning a profit (e.g. one goal win would win 0.65x your stake, two goal Chelsea win would win 1.65x your stake etc.).

A 0.15 'sell' bet would need a draw or Napoli win to turn a profit (e.g. Draw would win 0.15x your stake, one goal Napoli win would win 1.15x your stake etc.).

Our spread betting Total Goals line is 2.8 – 3. So a 3 'buy' bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a ‘2.8’ sell bet would need two goals or less to be scored in the match to turn a profit.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. E.g. a 3 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 3x your stake if the match ended 0-0. In the 0.35 'buy' Supremacy bet example above, if the game ended in a draw you would lose 0.35x your stake. If Napoli won by one goal then it would lose 1.35x your stake etc. And in the 0.15 'sell' Supremacy example above, the bet would lose 85x your stake on a one goal Chelsea win, 1.85x your stake on a two goal Chelsea win etc.

 

 

Napoli v Chelsea betting specials and price boosts

Price Boosts are typically available on the Spreadex website the day before the game, so it’s worth checking back closer to kick-off for enhanced odds. In addition, Spreadex also features ‘Popular Bet-Builders’, specially curated by their in-house pricing team to highlight fan-favourite betting combinations.

The last time these two sides met at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Napoli ran out 3-1 winners. On that occasion the Total Goal Minutes spread betting market made up at 175. This time round we are offering a spread of 141-151.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. So for example if you were to ‘buy’ at 151 and the game ended 0-0 you would lose 151x your stake.
