Our Pisces Paesani are ack for episode 2 of the 2024/25 SSC Napoli season. The team has moved from the mountains of Dimaro and are now in Castel di Sangro for leg 2.

We haven't heard from Presidente Raffa Rispo for a while so Henry pops into his new barbershop, Ballston Spa Barber Club, to catch up with his old friend and hear what he thinks about Victor Osimhen's exit and legacy, the new Conte regime and his SMOKIN HOT takes ahead of the new season. They also find a moment to celebrate the Napoli community over in the Tri-State area and talk about making pizza.
This is a sort of one-off show but one that enjoys the trans-Atlantic legacy of the network!

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?

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.
