Spartak Moscow lost in the home game to Legia Warsaw in the debut round of the UEL group stage (0-1). The Red-Whites are at the bottom of the Group C standings (zero points). Spartak is unstable this season. For this reason, the team is ranked only 8th in the RPL standings with 13 points. In four rounds in a row, the footballers of Vitoria did without draws, alternating victories and defeats. Last Saturday the capital team celebrated the victory in the home match against Ufa (2-0). Muscovites scored three points thanks to goals from Ezequiel Ponce and Quincy Promes. And Spartak kept a clean sheet for the first time in five matches in the RPL and the Europa League.
Napoli and Spartak Moscow are teams of different weight categories. The Italians are far superior to the Muscovites in terms of the level of players, for whom a draw in Naples will be an excellent result. The Serie A leader is in great shape and is capable of dealing with the Red-Whites with a large score. However, Napoli will have a difficult trip to Florence on Sunday, so there is a possibility that Spalletti's coaching staff will prefer to spare some of the team's leaders. The Parthenopeans, accustomed to offensive football, have regularly scored at least two goals since the beginning of the season. In the match against unstable Muscovites, this productive trend will probably continue. It is unlikely that Spartak will be able to overcome the defense of the Neapolitans, who have kept three clean sheets in a row.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with -1.5 handicap
