Entering the final matchweek of the 2021-22 UEFA Europa League group stage, all four teams in Group C can still earn a berth in the knockout rounds. Two of the preseason favorites to win the entire competition both need points to secure their spot. Leicester City sits atop the group with eight points, while Napoli is third with seven and behind Spartak Moscow on a head-to-head tiebreaker. That means that Leicester City can advance with a draw and take first in the group with a win, while Napoli can only advance with a victory. The stakes will be high and you can stream the match on Paramount+ here.
The game will be played at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy, where Napoli plays its home matches, and kick-off is scheduled for 12:45 p.m. ET. West Ham is the +105 favorite (bet $100 to win $105), while Leicester City is the +230 underdog in the latest Napoli vs. Leicester City odds from Caesars Sportsbook.

UEFA Europa League picks for Leicester City vs. Napoli
Before you tune in to Thursday’s match, you need to see the Napoli vs. Leicester City picks from soccer insider Jon Eimer. He is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge about leagues and players most people don’t know exist, including most oddsmakers. He understands that oddsmakers don’t focus on obscure leagues, so Eimer has become obsessed with learning everything possible about smaller leagues. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
For Leicester City vs. Napoli, Eimer is betting over 2.5 goals for a -140 payout. The two clubs met in Matchweek 1 on Sept. 16 and played to a thrilling 2-2 draw. In that match, Leicester City jumped out to a 2-0 lead behind goals from Ayoze Perez and Harvey Barnes before Napoli earned a result with two Victor Osimhen goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation.
Napoli attempted 22 shots and had seven on target, while Leicester City only attempted seven shots but managed to get five on net. With both teams needing a result to go forward and featuring incredible attacking play, Eimer is expecting these two teams to press forward.
“Napoli has scored at least once in their last nine club matches and have had over 2.5 goals in four of their last five matches. Leicester, on the other hand, has scored in eight of its last 10 club fixtures and has had over 2.5 goals in its last five matchups. Both teams should be playing their first teams here,” Eimer told SportsLine. “Expect to see an attack-heavy match at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Thursday.”
