Does Barca remain undefeated in the 8th CL game against Napoli?
In the real world, FC Barcelona reached the round of 16 of the Champion League as the group winner. The Catalans left BVB, Inter and Slavia Prague behind and rose with 4 wins from 6 games in 2 draws. The Blaugrana remained without defeat in the preliminary round. This was also achieved in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 in Napoli. Dries Mertens put the southern Italians in the lead after half an hour, after the break Antoine Griezmann was able to equalize for the guests from Spain. So everything is open for the second leg. From the bookmakers’ point of view, Barca is the clear favorite with odds around 1.50. The team scored an average of 1.43 goals per CL game with just 0.71 goals conceded. FCB want to remain unbeaten 8x in the season’s 8th CL game. In the previous 3 home games, the team was able to mark 5 goals (average: 1.67), while only allowing 2 goals (average: 0.67). The team never allowed more than 1.5 goals conceded and remained without conceding in 2 games, but could not score in 2 games either.
Barcelona is at the top of the Primera Division during the break with 18 wins and 4 draws from 27 championship games and 5 losses. With this, the Catalans can stay 2 points ahead of arch-rival Real Madrid. The team has been supported by Quique Setién since January. In 12 games in all competitions, 8 wins and 1 draw with 3 bankruptcies were won. The team scored 1.83 goals on average with just 0.92 goals against this coach. In the league, Barca scored an average of 1.38 per game and 3.21 goals per home game. You have to accept an average of 1.46 goals per league game and 0.86 per home game. The Blaugrana are very difficult to overcome, especially in their own stadium, while the team here is quite aggressive. In 36% of home games you stay clean, which leads to 29% home wins to zero. In more than half of the home games there are over 3.5 goals, but this game is probably more tactical and therefore we will not see as many goals.
Does Napoli remain without defeat in the 6th game in a row?
The SSC Napoli put in a very strong series until the compulsory break, after the start of the season was completely messed up. The southern Italians came second in the premier class. The SSC won 3 of the 6 games and drew in the other 3, so it is also unbeaten in the Champions League, ranking 2nd behind Liverpool, but ahead of Salzburg and Genk. The team scored an average of 1.71 goals per game in this competition with 0.86 goals conceded. In the very first guest appearance in Barcelona, Napoli is the clear outsider with a odds of around 5.30. Due to the current form, the SSC is, according to our prediction, a dangerous underdog. This club has also changed coaches during the season. Gennaro Gattuso took over in December and since then the team has won 9 games and 1 draw in 5 losses in 15 games in all competitions. On a good day, Napoli predicts that Barca can be dangerous.
The SSC Napoli is currently ranked 6th in Serie A and thus on course for the Europa League. The Champions League is currently missing 9 points. The club won 11 of the previous 26 league games in 6 draws and 9 losses. Napoli returned to international business under Gattuso. Under the new coach, the team scored an average of 1.47 goals per game with 1.2 goals conceded. In the championship games, the goal increase to 1.58, in the away games even to 1.85. In every league and guest game you get an average of 1.38 goals. 54% of the away games score over 2.5 goals. The Neapolitans can score in 85% of the away games and both teams in 77% of the guest appearances.
