Take Napoli vs Barcelona in Best Soccer Bets Today
Thanks to the UEFA Champions League, we’ll be able to watch a match between two powerhouses in a must-win situation. Napoli is out of the Serie A title race and winning the continental tournament would be the only way to save the season. Barcelona is in a similar situation in La Liga since Real Madrid is atop the standings with a very comfortable advantage. As if that weren’t enough, according to the latest soccer odds, we don’t have a clear favorite for Wednesday’s matchup.

Napoli vs Barcelona Over/Under Pick: Napoli Over 1½ (+125)
Yes, Napoli is having a terrible season, but we’re still talking about a very talented squad, especially when it comes to the attacking unit. Victor Osimhen, Matteo Politano, Giacomo Raspadori and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are the main weapons of the Azzurri. There’s also the fact that, regardless of the result, Napoli scored in four of its last five games at home, including two or more goals in three of those matches.
Barcelona will score as well, contributing for the game total to go over (Over 2½ -130), but Napoli team scoring more than 1½ goals is offering a better price (+125) in the sportsbook.
Napoli vs Barcelona Moneyline Pick: Napoli (+165)
This is the perfect opportunity for Napoli to finally beat Barcelona. Los Azulgranas deserve to be slightly favored in the Las Vegas soccer odds, but their season has been full of ups and downs. Last weekend, they defeated Celta de Vigo 2-1 thanks to a goal in the 97th minute and from the penalty spot. Napoli is way better than Celta de Vigo and the Azzurri will be playing at home, where they only lost one of their last five games. That was 1-0 against Inter Milan, one of the best teams in Europe today.
Napoli vs Barcelona Player Props Pick: Giacomo Raspadori Anytime Goalscorer (+250)
I was going to recommend you include Victor Osimhen in your soccer bet picks, but the Nigerian isn’t expected to start. He might get some minutes in the second half, though. Therefore, go with Giacomo Raspadori, who’ll lead the attacking unit as center-striker. Raspadori has scored four goals in all competitions. That’s a low number, but don’t underestimate the 24-year-old, who’s also a starter in the Italian national team.
Plus, his birthday was on Monday. In other words, he’s highly motivated and ready to celebrate.
A happy birthday to Jack, who turns 24 today! 🥳
