Bet of the day.
Napoli vs. Eintracht Frankfurt.
Match Preview.
Today sees the second leg of the match between Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League round of 16.
The game will take place at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, where the home team is currently in first place in Serie A and the visitors are currently sixth in the Bundesliga.
Facts Check
- Napoli have won 5 of their last 6 matches in all competitions.
- Eintracht Frankfurt have won only 2 of their last 6 matches in all competitions
High flying Napoli are expected to put up another good performance.
Napoli enters the contest having increased their hopes on the Italian Scudetto title with a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in Serie A over the weekend.
Following the victory, Napoli is far ahead at the top of the table after both goals were scored in the second half.
They regained their 18-point advantage atop the Serie A standings after a brief setback.
Last month, they deployed their best tactics and outclassed Eintracht 2-0 in the first match in front of their fans, a score that was unfair to the German team.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s mystery will continue tonight.
The weekend’s German Bundesliga match between Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart ended in a 1-1 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt’s home stadium.
They now journey to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, where they will face the best team of the moment in Serie A.
After that 1-1 draw with VfB Stuttgart, the Bundesliga team is currently in bad form, having gone four games without a victory.
Eintracht’s lack of success on the road—six losses in a row—does not augur well for their chances of making progress.
Head-to-head comparison
Both teams have only met once and that was in Germany on February 21st of this year when they played their first leg at Eintracht Frankfurt’s home.
Napoli beat them 2-0 in that match.
Napoli’s team news
The health of the crucial trio of Kim Min-Jae, Alex Meret, and Hirving Lozano is a concern for Luciano Spalletti.
The first two were injured both before and during Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Atalanta, while the third was not present at all.
Napoli’s only sure absence is Giacomo Raspadori, who is ruled out.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s team news
Rafael Borre should fill in for Randal Kolo Muani, who was given a red card in the second half of the first game against Napoli and is now suspended.
Jesper Lindstrom and Ansgar Knauff, two crucial players for the German team, are also out.
Additionally missing from Eintracht’s trip to Naples is Eric Ebimbe.
Expert’s opinion
The hosts must be the favorites to win this game given the way Napoli has played this season and the outcome of the first half.
Napoli are in control and could achieve a similar outcome in this match to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals with a 2 goal advantage from the first leg in Germany.
Eintracht, on the other hand, lacks important players and is out of shape. Napoli should have a comfortable win.
