Prediction: 3-1
Salzburg
Napoli will be looking to retain top position in Group E when they welcome Salzburg at their Stadio San Paolo on Tuesday night. The Serie A side proved their worth in a 3-2 win over Salzburg at Red Bull Arena, and yet another triumph over the Austrian champions will see Carlo Ancelotti’s troops move one step closer to booking their place in the Champions League knockout stages.
Over the years, Napoli have turned their Stadio San Paolo into a real fortress, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. The Red Bulls face a must-win situation against the Neapolitans, and since they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach this time out, we are positive that the hosts will have a number of opportunities to score on the break. Poland international Arkadiusz Milik is likely to lead the line for the hosts against Salzburg.
