In this season “Die Bullen” performed in the UEFA Champions League, having settled on the third position in Group G with only seven points gained in the clashes played against Besiktas, FC Porto and Monaco. The side’s offense showed suitable effectiveness, having scored 10 goals while its defenders struggled from a lack of experience resulted in 11 goals conceded. In the previous home battles RB Leipzig have beaten FC Augsburg 2:0, deserved 1:1 draw against Hamburger SV and defeated Schalke 04 with 3:1 scoreline.

In their turn, Napoli demonstrate enormously powerful play in this season, keeping high chances to win the Serie A champion’s title. To the supporters’ regret “Gli Azzurri” left the UEFA Champions League as they had settled on the third place in Group F which had been also formed by Shakhtar Donetsk, Manchester City and Feyenoord. “Partenopei” picked up six points in six encounters played, having lost four clashes. Napoli’s attack looked remarkably massive, having scored 11 goals unlike their defense which conceded 11 goals. In the latest fights conducted on the road Napoli deserved three victories: 2:0 over Benevento, 1:0 vs. Atalanta and 1:0 against Crotone.
RB Leipzig celebrated a confident 3:1 triumph in the first-leg clash between the rivals. It will be a quite difficult task for Napoli to cover the goal deficit as “Die Bullen” look rather convincing at the home ground. The forthcoming fight in Germany should be quite spectacular as well.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
