Napoli have drawn their last two games in Serie A and it looks as if they will have to again settle for second place in Serie A. They can turn their attention to the Europa League and should have few problems making it into the last 16. Last week they traveled to Switzerland and returned with a 3-1 win against Zurich. Conceding a late goal ruined a perfect night but a win was an improvement after their away form cost them a place in the knock-out stages of the Champions League. Napoli have only lost one of their last 14 home games in this competition and earlier in the season beat Liverpool and drew with PSG in the Champions League and are unbeaten in their last 25 home games in all competitions.

Zurich have a tough task to get back into this tie needing to score three times to even have a chance of qualifying. They are currently fourth in the Swiss Super League but 28 points behind league leaders Young Boys who beat them at the weekend. They face a battle to qualify for the Europa League next season but will be able to concentrate on that once they make their exit from this year's competition. Zurich aren't the best on their travels with six defeats in 11 away league games this season only winning one of the last seven. Only one of their last ten away games in the Europa League have been won and the tip here is for Napoli to win, leading at both half and full time.
