Napoli hosts Legia Warsaw in round 3 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 21st at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)
Napoli is in 3rd place in the Europa League group standings (one point after two games). Neapolitans shared points with English Leicester away (2-2) and unexpectedly lost to Spartak Moscow at home (2-3). The European Cup campaign is still going hard for Napoli, which holds the lead in the Italian Serie A standings. In eight starting rounds of the domestic championship, the Parthenopeans scored the maximum 24 points and are two points ahead of AC Milan. Last Sunday, the Blues achieved a tough 1-0 home victory over Torino. The only goal in the 81st minute was scored by Victor Osimhen, who scored in six of the last seven games for Napoli.

Legia Warsaw is on the first line in the Group C standings (six points after two rounds). The Legionaries defeated Spartak Moscow in Russia (0-1) and dealt with Leicester City at home (1-0). The Polish team is doing great in the group stage, but in the national championship, the affairs of Michniewicz's players are far from ideal. In the last three rounds of Ekstraklasa, the Militarians did not score even one point. On October 17, Legia lost at home to Lech Poznan (0-1). The victory was brought to the visitors by a goal in the 55th minute. The Legionaries could have conceded more if Lech converted the penalty kick in time added to the 2nd half.
The matches against Legia are important for Napoli's tournament prospects if only Spalletti's team does not bet on results in the Italian championship. On October 24, the Blues will have a difficult trip to Roma, and this may help Legia in the upcoming confrontation in Naples. The Legionaries upset the opponents’ goalkeepers in the last two rounds, and they will probably have a chance to score again. As shown by the matches against Leicester and Spartak Moscow, Napoli’s defense is far from ideal. The team from Poland may well count on another goal scored.
Prediction for the match: Legia to score over 0.5 goals
