Last time we heard from Kubani, we bet Napoli to beat Frosinone, Osimhen Goal and +7.5 corners for a +140. That didn’t hit. That didn’t hit.
For Empoli last week we had no show, but the bet on X was Osimhen and Kvara shot on target, over 7 corners and a Napoli win. That also didn’t hit. We slid to 4-5 on the season.
Can we turn this 2 match skid around at the Maradona v Roma? A very important match to keep the possibility of UCL qualification alive.

Raffa sits down with Joe Fischetti to discuss the European landscape and what it COULD mean to Napoli. Now that Serie A hold the extra Champions League spot, does the possibility of Roma or Atalanta winning the Europa League leave Napoli open to a chance at a UCL spot...in 6TH???
Also, Napoli lose to Empoli for the second time this season...so does any of it even matter?

Michele and Henry and give you everything you need to know about the Napoli stadium situation but were afraid to ask.
They begin by giving their personal preferences on what they’d like to happen before embarking on a chronological exploration of the stadium issues.

BACK TO WINNING WAYS
When we last had a show, we made a bet for the Atalanta match. That was a complete disaster for Napoli, and it was a loser for our bet season.
However, not only was Napoli a winner v Monza, but so were you if you bet with us. Although we didn’t get to have a show, we still posted a bet to our socials. (Always check the socials)
Osimhen shot on target
Kvara shot in target
Napoli win
+125
That win takes us to 4-3 on the season.
This week, we’re back home against Frosinone. As we look to avenge our embarrassing home exit in the Coppa Italia to the Laziali, we also look to gain a winning streak on the betting line.

Raffa Rispo has returned from a brief hiatus after the International break and the Atalanta loss. This week, co-host Daniel Russo also makes his return to the show after a spell off.
The Pisces Paesani cover the big win in Monza at the U-Power Stadium 4-2. After being down 1-0 in a really dismal first half, things weren’t looking good again until Osimhen and Co. put on a masterful 2nd half.
With Serie A at a 99% chance of getting that 5th spot in the Champions League, can Napoli ride this momentum all the way til the end of the season and get that all important spot?
The guys also discuss the heavy rumor that ADL has found his new DS in former Juve youth DS Gianluca Manna. With that comes big time rumor that Antonio Conte will agree to terms on a 3-year deal with Napoli. How important would that be if Napoli don’t qualify for the Champions League, or Europe all together?

In this episode, a somber Raffa has a great Interview with a long time buddy & listner of FFV Peyman Dadgar. Together, they break down the Champions League loss to Barcelona and they discuss the future of Napoli & what Peyman is so concerned about.
Before that, Ken Cioffredi has some words as well & responds to a very in-depth Tweet (X post...whatever) that warranted some words.
Finally, Raffa closes the show with a mini breakdown of the scenario in which, despite the Serie A teams being out of the UCL in the quarters, Napoli can still make it to the Champions League next season with a 5th place finish...but they run into the champions-elect Inter in Milano this weekend.
Ken's audio in this episode is ripped from our Youtube channel. Yes, Far From Vesuvius has a Youtube channel. Watch our videos and listen to our podcasts there too.

TORINO DRAW AHEAD OF BIGGEST MATCH THIS SEASON SO FAR!!!
In this episode, Raffa Rispo is joined by Ken Cioffredi again as Daniel Russo is off celebrating his birthday. We’d like to wish Dan un grande TANTI AUGURI!!!
In part 1, Raffa and Ken discuss the Friday evening draw to Torino at the Maradona and how the results in Serie A over the weekend could have been much worse for the partenopei, as everyone in the race for the last spot in the UCL(possibly 2) dropped points.
Then in part 2, the boys bring back Alex from Total Barca, ahead of the return in Spain, to get his thoughts on all things Barcelona-Napoli, including the 1st Leg, the outlook for the 2nd Leg and how Barcelona are doing since we last spoke 3 weeks ago. Of course, Raffa and Ken give the Napoli perspective too, but somewhere along the lines, all 3 go WAY off topic and even get into the state of football here in the United States. It was quite the conversation, to say the least!
Finally, the ragazzi close up with final words before the big clash and even offer Kubani’s bet for the match v Barcelona, as Kuba was unable to record. Kuba’s bet for the Torino clash missed making us 1-2, but here’s to hoping we get back to .500 by winning this weeks offer, in a responsabile fashion, of course!
Alex is on X @totalBarca
Kubani is on X @Kubani7
Ken is on X @K_Cioffredi
And of course…
