Napoli vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

 by Ian John | in Champions League Predictions

Napoli face Barcelona in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg on Wednesday night, kick off 8pm. The Italian Champions have had a miserable domestic campaign after winning Serie A last season and their progress in the Champions League saw them lose home and away to Real Madrid. Barcelona lies third in La Liga behind Real Madrid and Girona, but it has hardly been a vintage season for the Catalan's who also lost two group games but still topped their group on head-to-head record over FC Porto. The two teams have met four times before and Barcelona are unbeaten in those quartet of games.

Napoli - Barcelona: Form Analysis

Napoli face Barcelona on Wednesday Night in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg, very much feeling that their season hinges on them being able to defeat the Catalan giants and progress into the last eight. A poor season domestically for the Neapolitans has been a huge disappointment in the year after their Serie A title success last season and the drop off in form has been so great that many of their top players, such as Victor Osimhen and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, have been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season. The team has been inconsistent from the start of the season and seems unable to string a run of strong results together.

Barcelona come into this game knowing that this will be manager Xavi's final Champions League campaign as manager. The Spanish legend has already stated he will leave the club at the end of the season. Financial struggles have not helped Barcelona this season but they remain third in La Liga, but some way off the pace being set by Real Madrid at the top of the table. Their Champions League performances have replicated their league form with two defeats and four wins in the group stages. Worryingly, Robert Lewandowski has scored just one Champions League goal this season for the Catalan side and both their top scorers in this competition, Ferran Torres and Joao Felix (3 goals apiece) are currently injured.

Napoli & Barcelona Squad Analysis

Napoli welcomed back first choice goalkeeper Alex Meret in their 1-1 home draw with Genoa at the weekend and the Italian international will likely keep his place in the team for the game with Barcelona on Wednesday. Natan has also recently returned from injury and Victor Osimhen should return to the squad after returning from African Cup of Nations duty with Nigeria. With no players suspended for this game, Napoli boss Walter Mazzari should have a full-strength squad to pick from. Osimhen's return would be a welcome boost for the Neapolitans given their struggles to score goals while their top striker has been representing his country at the AFCON tournament. The Nigerian striker has 7 goals in 13 Serie A appearances this season as well as one Champions League goal in four appearances in the competition.

Barcelona head coach Xavi has a lengthy injury list ahead of this tricky trip to Naples. Defenders Alejandro Balde, Sergi Roberto are both absent long term, as is young midfielder Gavi. Ex-Chelsea full back Marcos Alonso is another who is out with a back injury with his return slated to be some time around the middle of March. Worryingly for Barcelona fans two key strikers, Ferran Torres and Joao Felix are both set to miss the game, Torres is out for another couple of weeks after picking up a thigh injury againsy Osasuna, while Felix has missed Barcelona's previous four games with an ankle issue picked up in training and he is not due to return until the end of February at the earliest. Ronald Araujo and Pedri will be fit despite being withdrawn from Barcelona's game with Celta at the weekend. Araujo though is just one booking away from suspension in the second leg of the tie.

Our Napoli vs Barcelona Prediction

This Napoli vs Barcelona Champions League Round of 16 first leg tie is a tricky one to call. The data seems to suggest a Barcelona victory and the historic record between the two teams also gives support to that. However, Napoli are a tough side to beat at home and Walter Mazzarri will know that defeat here would leave the Neapolitans with precious little to fight for over the remainder of the season. Two of the previous four games between the two teams have finished all squad, one in Naples, one in Barcelona, ​​and therefore our prediction for Napoli v Barcelona is for the match to end all-square.

Napoli vs Barcelona - Other Interesting Predictions

Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona) to score at any time

Odds 2.45
It is surprising to note that Robert Lewandowski has scored just one goal for Barcelona in the Champions League this season, especially when you consider he has 92 goals in 116 Champions League games in his career. With Joao Felix and Ferran Torres injured, the onus will be on the Polish star to provide the cutting edge in attack for Barcelona and our second tip for the game is to back him to score at any time in the first leg of this tie.

Draw And Under 2.5 Goals

Odds 4.75
