Prediction: 2-1
Napoli
All eyes will be on Camp Nou when Barcelona and Napoli go head to head in the Europa League last 32, first leg. Barca head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Espanyol in the Catalan derby where Luuk de Jong scored a late equalizer. January signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should be recalled to the starting XI, while Dani Alves is back from a domestic ban. Napoli target Memphis Depay is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Yet another new signing Ferran Torres should continue to lead the line for the Catalan outfit. The Neapolitans, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Inter in the Serie A derby. Napoli’s main goal is to win Scudetto, and seeing that Barca reinforce the squad in the January transfer window, home win should be considered. Both Lozano and Tuanzebe are injured for the visiting team. Both Lozano and Tuanzebe are sidelined for the Partenopei.
