The very first round of Champions League fittings is an exciting area of the entire year, and Napoli v Liverpool is certainly one of the week’s matches.
There’s an awareness of d??j?? vu about this one: using Liverpool narrowly qualifying after a straight shootout at Anfield for the knockouts at the expense of Napoli, the following two sides were last season. The rest is history.
The matchup is no less intriguing this time round, and it is an especially tough one. Napoli have had a madcap beginning a 4-3 off victory against Fiorentina was followed-up by a 4-3 defeat Juventus, all before a 2-0 home win against Sampdoria. It’s all been a little erratic from the side.
Liverpool have made a 100% start to the summer, and Carlo Ancelotti will feel that he could be competitive with the Reds on home soil while they literally unbeatable at Anfield.
Last year, the two sides appreciated closely-fought 1-0 home successes, and while I am not going to back an outcome , I am going to suggest under 2.5 goals, that is priced fairly generously.
Liverpool dropped in last year’s group to Red Star Belgrade and PSG, along with a somewhat streaky away win at the Premier League this year at Southampton does indicate some vulnerabilities on the road do remain. ??
It’s easy to expect a goalfest judging from the consequences of either side to date this year, but these fittings are always cagey–with a poor start to a Champions League group effort normally spelling disaster, unless you’re Spurs–and also 5/4 for a comparatively low-key affair on Tuesday is worth backing. ??
Liverpool were poor at this ground this past year, also that may not be the thriller several are anticipating — with Napoli and Liverpool both owning such powerful lines — marshalled from Virgil van Dijk and Kalidou Koulibaly respectively.
Napoli look a side, amassing a nine yellow cards within their first three league fixtures, together with each single one being awarded to a different player!
Compare this who have received two yellow cards five Premier League fixtures–and it is very little surprise I am financing that a player to be seen by Napoli.
