Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Napoli vs Liverpool

Napoli

Napoli started the new season in the Italian championship well: the team won several victories and immediately broke into the leading group of teams. Therefore, we can safely say that now the team from Naples is in good condition and in a great mood.

Ahead of the team is a serious test in the Champions League - in this tournament, Napoli also poses serious challenges. At home, the hosts will not be favorites in the first round match, but the support of the native fans and a great desire to take three points should help the team show a good game.

Liverpool

But Liverpool did not start in the best way in the English championship, so the team from the first rounds turned out to be in the role of catching up. Now Jurgen Klopp's wards must not only consistently score points in the Premier League, but also show good results in the Champions League.

In the current campaign, the Reds certainly set themselves the maximum tasks and expect to at least repeat last year's achievement and reach the final of the tournament. A successful start should make their tournament path easier, so Liverpool will come to Naples solely for three points.

This will be the opening match for both teams this European Cup season and they will certainly want to start it off with a good result. If you look at the history of confrontations between Napoli and Liverpool, then the rivals did not play very effectively between themselves in the past. A new meeting is unlikely to be an exception, because in the first round the teams usually play without risk and look closely at each other. Therefore, it is logical to bet on the total of the match less than 2.5 goals for 2.14.
