Napoli take on the visitors Manchester City at “Stadio San Paolo” in the matchday four of the UEFA Champions League Group stage. The game will be played in Naples on Wednesday, November 1st.
In the first lap Napoli lost to the Brits with 1:2 scoreline on the road with a penalty which has not been converted by Dries Mertens. The Italian club stays on the edge of a complete disaster in the UEFA Champions League as with three rounds behind, “Partenopei” occupy the third place in Group F with three points gained and 5-5 goal difference, being three and six points behind the leading duet respectively. However, Napoli cover those Eurocups failures with the outstanding performance in the Italian Serie A: having beaten Sassuolo 3:1 in the recent gameweek, Maurizio Sarri’s side takes the lead in the elite division table with 31 points earned and 32-8 goal difference after 11 encounters played. Last time “Partenopei” were broken in face of their fans by Real Madrid 1:3 within the UEFA Champions League on the 7th of March, having followed it with 13-clash unbeaten series covering 11 triumphs and two draws.

In their turn, Manchester City have not failed since the 5th of April across 24 latest matches in all tournaments recording 19 victories and five draws during that streak. “The Citizens” are the leader of English Premier League, having picked up 28 points in 10 games played. Concerning the UEFA Champions League, in three clashes played Josep Guardiola’s team has earned maximum possible points – nine with eight goals for and single goal against, being just one triumph away from promotion to the Play Offs. The Brits have not lost at away fields in 10 recent encounters, having got nine victories with single draw in them while the side’s winning run counts for eight battles.
Napoli take the lead in the Italian Serie A, Manchester City are on top of the English Premier League while Josep Guardiola’s team looks the strongest side in the world at the moment. I believe that not many goals will be combined in the upcoming battle alike to the rivals’ clash in England.
Prediction for the match: Under 4.0 scored goals.
