Napoli take on the visitors Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. The game will be played on Tuesday, March 7th at Stadio San Paolo (Naples).
Napoli have quite difficult schedule in past couple of weeks. The team played four matches since they’ve recorded 1-3 defeat in the first leg in Madrid, recording two defeats in clashes with Atalanta and Juventus, 0-2 and 1-3, and won two games against Chievo 3-1, and AS Roma, 2-1. That triumph in Rome tells us that Napoli are in good conditions and ready to battle at top level. The team is strong in matches at own stadium as Sarri’s men gained 12 wins in 19 home fixtures with four draws and three defeats recorded.

Real Madrid, in turn, played five matches in Spanish LaLiga since the first leg at Bernabeu and the team can’t be happy with results shown. Zidane’s men lost to Valencia, 1-2, drew with Las Palmas 3-3, and took win in matches with Espanyol, 2-0, Villarreal 3-2, and Eibar, 4-1. The team allowed at least one goal in each of these matches and it isn’t good sign before the voyage to Napoli. Los Merengues played 19 matches on the road and took 11 wins with six draws and two defeats recorded. Both of the losses were recorded in 2017.
Of course, Real Madrid are favorites after the advantage they’ve gained in the first leg at own stadium. However, Napoli are strong in home matches and they will definitely do their best to cover the spread. The match is likely to end with a high-scoring result and we should also expect to see goals from both teams.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
