Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Salzburg
Match Time & Date:
23/10/2019
03:00 PM
Prediction: 2-2
Napoli
Despite producing a fine performance against Liverpool at Anfiel, Salzburg eventually suffered a 4-3 loss to the Champions League winners in their second group game. The Reds kicked off their Champions League campaign with a splendid 6-2 win over Genk at their Red Bull Arena and that is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Napoli.
Salzburg are brimming with confidence ahead of the match and we predict that the Austrian champions are going to share the spoils with the Serie A outfit, who failed to impress in the goalless draw with Genk. Napoli continue with their habit of producing splendid displays at home, while struggling on the travels and that is probably the main reason why away win should not be considered. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time ever in the elite competition.
Highlighted Player (Zlatko Junuzovic):
Born in Serbia on 26 September 1987, Zlatko Junuzovic moved to Austria at the age of five and he eventually decided to represent his adopted country at international level. The central midfielder made a name for himself playing for Grazer AK, Austria Karnten and Austria Wien, but it was a move to Werder Bremen that earned him worldwide recognition.
Ever since 2012, Junuzovic has been one of Bundesliga’s leading midfielders, scoring a number of goals from set pieces and producing countless assists for his teammates, and it is a real wonder how he hasn’t joined a bigger club.
Capable of operating as a defensive midfielder, but much more dangerous as an attacking midfielder, Junuzovic has been a key player for Austria for several years now and he was in fine form as Das Team secured their place at the Euro 2016 finals. The highly rated midfielder has been a member of the national team for over ten years and chances are he will not be retiring any time soon.
Highlighted Team (Napoli):
SSC Napoli is an Italian football club from the city of Naples which is playing currently in the Serie A. The club was founded officially in 1926 but the history from Napoli reaches back to 1904 with the club Naples Foot-Ball & Cricket Club that fused with Internazionale Napoli and was called FBC Internaples.

Famous players that played for the club from Naples are: Maradona, Zola, Cavani, Blanc, Di Canio, Cannavaro.
