Napoli hosts Genk in round 6 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 10th at Stadio San Paolo (Naples)
Virtually, Napoli will be satisfied with a draw in the upcoming match. In case of an equality of points with their competitors, Liverpool and Salzburg (and this may happen), the Neapolitans will outrank them due to better indicators in head-to-head meetings. In this connection, I do not think that the hosts will by any means try to defeat their opponents in this match, which is practically not decisive at all. By the way, Genk offered serious resistance in the first game in Belgium, unexpectedly taking away points from the Neapolitans (a 0-0 draw). And Napoli, unlike in previous years, does not particularly tend towards violent attacking actions. The team pays tribute to standard Italian pragmatics, having held almost all the matches of the current UEFA Champions League group stage calmly and reasonably: with Liverpool (2:0, 1:1) and the Austrian Bulls (3:2, 1:1). As we see, the men of Carlo Ancelotti didn’t gain a single landslide victory.

As for Genk, it does not need anything in the upcoming match, except for the possible prize money and maintaining prestige (in principle, it is a good incentive). Therefore, it’s difficult to predict how the visitors will behave, but you can try. By the way, the Belgian champion (in addition to the aforementioned home draw with Napoli) also showed rather positive football in a match with Liverpool at Anfield, where the Reds won with surprising difficulties (2-1). Therefore, not everything is so sad in Genk’s camp today, as bookmakers demonstrate with set coefficients!
I would also like to add that Napoli looks very dull in the Italian regular season, where the team continues its winless streak, which started in October and amounted to seven matches. Finally, I will note that the Neapolitans managed to celebrate success with a difference of three goals in only one game of this season (having crushed modest Lecce with a 4:1 score).
Prediction for the match: Genk to win with +2.5 handicap
