02:00 PM
Prediction: 2-2
Braga
Napoli will be aiming to clinch their spot in the Champions League last 16 when they welcome Braga to their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Tuesday evening. The Neapolitans are one point away from booking their spot in the knockout stages and they are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the decider. Sweden international Jens Cajuste has joined Mathias Olivera and Mario Rui in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Reds, on the other hand, face a must-win situation in the last group game, but seeing that Napoli are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Braga defender Sikou Niakate is banned for the match following his sending-off in a 1-1 draw with Union Berlin, while forward Bruma is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in a 3-1 win over Vizela at the weekend.
