Napoli vs. Liverpool Prediction

• Where: San Paolo Stadium, Naples, Italy
• When: Wednesday, September 7, 9:45 pm local time

Napoli hosts Liverpool at San Paolo Stadium, one of the most hostile places in Europe. The Italian and the English teams faced one another in the UCL, back in the 2018 and 2019 editions, and besides that, they played a couple of friendly matches around the same time. So we can say that they know one another very well. According to all the odds and analysts, Napoli and Liverpool have the highest chances of advancing to another stage, and they are the top two favorites for winning first place in this assembly.

Napoli vs. Liverpool Preview

Napoli

The home team is playing solid considering that they changed half of the starting lineup during the summer. There are some new faces in Naples now who are indicating that they could be even better than the old stars who went away. 

Napoli played five Calcio games this year, winning three and having two draws, which is a good record keeping in mind that Spalletti’s unit stayed unbeaten against Fiorentina and Lazio on the road. Furthermore, Napoli beat Lazio 1-2 this weekend, creating a massive swing before this event.

This team has a very aggressive and talented offense, trying to dictate the tempo and impose high intensity on the field. That is especially noticeable at home. 

Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp is facing troubles for the first time during his tenure at Anfield. Liverpool struggles to find its form, and they look pretty incoherent on the field. As a consequence, we have mediocre results and only two wins this year. 

The defense is the key to everything, with the Reds’ backline constantly allowing goals and chances in the box, which hasn’t been the case over the last two years. So far this year, Liverpool has only one clean sheet, and what is the reason for this? We don’t quite know. 

There haven’t been any changes, all the players are fit and healthy, but their form is not at the desired level. Virgin Van Dijk has played the worst football since he came to Anfield, affecting other players besides him.

Napoli vs. Liverpool Head to Head

Napoli and Liverpool met in the 2018 and the 2019 UEFA Champions League group stages. In 2018 both teams used the home-field edge, winning 1-0, while during the next edition, Napoli won at home, 2-0, and the game in England concluded 1-1.

Napoli vs. Liverpool Prediction

This should be a fun game because of the fans at San Paolo, who will create one hell of an atmosphere. These teams play attractive and high-paced football, so we expect to see lots of chances in front of both goals. Because of that, our pick here would be for both units to score. Liverpool’s defense is in chaos, and Napoli should utilize that, and on the other hand, L’Pool’s attack is still sharp to deliver at least one score.

Our verdict: Both teams to score
