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.  A 4-0 win over Albanian Champions Egnatia saw almost the whole full squad start, with the exception of one Victor Osimhen. The transfer drama continues as the season rapidly approaches.  Raffa & Dan talk all about that and they t...

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 mat...

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???

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 Napo...

Raffa Rispo has returned from a brief hiatus after the International break and the Atalanta loss.

MA QUANTO SEI BELLO!!! The Napoli of old has resurfaced and Raffa Rispo is in flying solo this episode to review the 6-1 road demolition of Sassuolo.  The neroverdi actually struck first where we all thought this was going to be another disappointing outing, yet Rrahmani's equalizer and then Osimhen's second ever hat trick with the partenopei, followed by a Kvaratskhelia brace brought us an amazin...
