In return of form, after a first half of the catastrophic season, Napoli believes in his chance in the double that they have in the best of the Champions League, with FC Barcelona.
Napoli
Napoli◾️He had emotions again in the last round of the Champions League group stage, this time managing to qualify in eighth, finishing at 2, behind Liverpool.
◾️He started collecting victories after victories, having 7 victories in the last 9 games in all competitions.
◾️Comes after 3 wins in a row, the last, 2: 1 with Brescia. In the match of the championship, with Brescia, Callejon returns in the offensive trident with Insigne and Mertens, while in the middle, Zielinski will return, who will play alongside Demme and Fabian Ruiz, the certainties of the last matches.
Barcelona
Barcelona◾️He did not have too many emotions in accessing the best of the competition, finishing at 7 points out of 3rd place, Inter.
◾️He is excellent in the championship, at least compared to the rival Real Madrid, having 4 wins in a row, the last one, 5: 0 with Eibar, a match in which Messi scored a “poker”.
◾️Without Suarez, Jordi Alba and Dembele, the absences known for a long time, Setien can not count either on Sergi Roberto, a situation that makes the Spanish coach have to make some “obligatory” choices, Firpo being the left defender, while Ansu-Fati will play in Dembele’s position.
⚽Direct meetings
▫️Only in friendly meetings have the two formations met in the last 5 years, Barcelona gaining 3 victories, while Naples won only once.
▫️The two teams met twice in 3 days before the start of the new season, both matches being won by Barcelona.
⚽Napoli vs Barcelona probable teams:
▪️Napoli (4-3-3): Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Manolas, Maksimovic, Mario Rui; Fabian, Demme, Zielinski; Callejon, Mertens, Badge.
▪️Barcelona (4-3-3): Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Firpo; De Jong, Busquets, Arthur; Messi, Griezmann, Ansu Fati.
Football Prediction of the Day Napoli vs Barcelona
There are two teams with a good morale, Napoli climbing well in the Serie A ranking, up to 6, while Barcelona, thanks to the last victories returned to the first position in La Liga, which should lead to a nice match, open, with goals, not a tactical one.
As a result, I think both teams will be able to score, Fabian Ruiz being able to make a big match in front of his compatriots, being a gifted player with many qualities, who brought victory in the Inter Milan Cup.
On the other hand, Barcelona should aim to score at least 1 goal away, Setien having some important absences that do not allow him to rely too much on a qualification won only on his own ground.
Prediction Today: Both teams register, Yes
Odds: 1.64
