Arsenal eye victory away against Napoli in 2018/19 UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg
Kick-off : 9:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Stadio San Paolo, Naples
Arsenal did well to see off Napoli in the first leg of the 2018/19 UEFA Europa League quarter-finals as they got a 2-0 victory. But they will like to keep the good work process going as they travel to Italy.
The Gunners are aware of the fact that Napoli are a very strong side and especially in home conditions they will be dangerous to play. So Arsenal will have to carve out the strategy in such a manner that they take maximum benefit and should look for an away goal.
On the other hand, Napoli will be cursing the fact that they didn’t get an away goal in their quarter-final first leg against Arsenal in the 0-2 loss. As of that they have all to do in the tie.
Napoli is looking for at least scoring two goals against Arsenal to eliminate the deficit and avoid the away goal. For that they will have to play some quality football which they are very capable of.
Arsenal have a good record against Napoli and they will look to continue the good work.
Team news and possible line-ups
Raul Albiol and Diawara will both be not available for Napoli for the Arsenal game as due to injuries.

Napoli XI : Meret, Hysaj, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Rui, Callejon, Allan, Ruiz, Zielinski, Insigne, Milik.

Prediction
I expect Napoli to do well in this game but still Arsenal to go through to the semi’s. Napoli to win 2-1.
