The second round of UEFA Champions League fixtures is upon us, and in this game, two teams who came unstuck during the opening set of League Phase games will lock horns at Estadio de la Ceramica. The hosts lost to Dortmund of the German Bundesliga, while the men from Napoli suffered defeat against the current English Premier League champions. Both teams have been scoring and conceding regular goals this season, so this looks like a game that is very much there for the taking, but which team will step up?
There appears to be a strong chance of both teams notching at least once in this game, a stronger chance even than odds of -175 (= 63.6% implied probability) indicate. Both teams have been scoring regularly, especially in their respective home and away games, while there's no reason for either team to view this as anything but a game to attack.

Our Villarreal vs Napoli Prediction
The visitors have been scoring regular road goals this season, so they really should fancy themselves to go to Estadio de la Ceramica and do some damage. The problem for the Italians is that they've struggled to defend of late, and if their last couple of away-day defensive efforts are anything to go by, then they'll likely find it rather tough to keep things tight at the back in Spain.
If we also consider the frequency with which the hosts have scored and conceded in games, a game where both teams find the net at least once simply looks more likely than the early odds imply.
