Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Napoli
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 4-1
Genk
Thanks to a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield Napoli moved one step closer to advancing to the Champions League knockout stages. The Neapolitans are seen as hot favourites to pick up all three points from their last group game against Genk, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the rock-bottom side. Even though the Neapolitans are only one point away from booking their place in the last 16, we predict that the Serie A side will go for a win in Tuesday’s football match.
The Belgian side, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Salzburg, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Napoli’s party at Stadio San Paolo. The two teams played out a goalless draw at Luminus Arena earlier in the process, but it is well known that Napoli produce much better showings at home than on the travels.
