Napoli take on the visitors Liverpool at the Stadio San Paolo in the Round 2 of the UEFA Champions League Group C. The match will be played in the eponymous city Naples on Wednesday, October 3rd.
Napoli have been in a great shape lately. They are likely to compete with Juventus for the gold in the Serie A TIM moving on. Furthermore, even though La Vecchia Signora signed Cristiano Ronaldo last summer their offensive line is not a lot better now than it was a year ago for example. The question though is will Napoli be able to show good performance both in the Champions League and the Serie A TIM. In the start of the new season of the most prestigious Italian football league the Partenopei were able to beat Milan with a 3-2 score and Lazio with a 2-1 score. However, then they surprisingly failed losing to Sampdoria with a 0-3 score. In the Round 1 fixture of the UEFA Champions League Group C the team of Carlo Ancelotti was also unable to win that time against Red Star Belgrade on the away side. Now they will put all their effort into the Round 2 match. Overall, Gli Azzurri have been unsuccessful in the Eurocups for the last several years and have often failed in the play-off stages of the tournaments. In their last three matches Napoli lost to Juventus with a 1-3 score, beat Parma with a 3-0 score and Torino with a 3-1 score.

Liverpool have been winning their matches h one by one lately. Their recent failure against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup though has been a bad sign but the Reds and their opponents have used their respective reserve players in that game. Overall, the team of Jurgen Klopp has been looking really confident. In the Round 1 of the UEFA Champions League Group C they beat Paris Saint-Germain despite Les Parisiens having one of the strongest squads in the world. It`s worth noting that every line of Liverpool looks really stable and natural. In their offensive line they have the famous trio Mane-Salah-Firmino. In their midfield line they have Naby Keita who is new to the team but already managing his line. In their back the Reds have Virgil Van Dijk and Alisson Becker. There are only a few weak places in the playing style of the English. On the other hand the team of Jurgen Klopp can use both their positional attacks and their counterattacks. In their last three matches Liverpool drew against Chelsea with a 1-1 score, lost to the same Chelsea with a 1-2 score in the 1/16-finals fixture of the Carabao Cup and beat Southampton with a 3-0 score.
Despite Napoli having a great potential they are unlikely to stop Liverpool who have been in a tremendous shape recently. Thereby the English side should get the victory in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win.
