Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Leicester vs Napoli

Leicester

Leicester missed out on a top-four spot last season in the Premier League, so the team will play in the Europa League this season. This is not the first such experience for the Foxes and now they will certainly want to go as far as possible in this European competition.

Brendan Rogers' team will host Napoli after the toughest match against Manchester City in the Premier League, which means that the head coach must apply rotation in the future game. It is possible that those players who have received little playing practice in the current campaign will enter the field.

Napoli

Napoli has a very similar story, because last season the team lost its place in the top 4 of the Serie A standings in the last rounds. The failure in the Italian championship led to a change of mentor, so this season the Neapolitans play under the guidance of experienced Luciano Spalletti.

With the new head coach, the team had a great start in the new Italian championship and will try to confirm that the latest successes in the Europa League were not accidental. Despite the away status of the meeting, the guests will definitely come to England for three points and will try to impose their own football on the opponent.

Both Leicester and Napoli will qualify for the tournament's playoffs from first place and winning the match with a direct competitor will be very important in the distribution of the final positions.
