Kick-off : 9:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Stadio San Paolo, Naples
Liverpool have had a wonderful start to their 2018/19 UEFA Champions League campaign as they defeated PSG 3-2 in their first game. But have another test in Napoli away awaiting.
The Reds know it well that Napoli are a good side and they won’t make things easy for them. Liverpool will have to be at the top of their game and hope for the best.
Liverpool are currently top of the group with 3 points after the 1 game. Liverpool next play Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League.
On the other hand, Napoli have had an OK start to their 2018/19 UCL, drawing their first game against Serbian outfit Red Star Belgrade away. Napoli will be out their to get the first win of the campaign.
Napoli have the home advantage and should make that count especially against dangerous sides like Liverpool.
Liverpool have a good record against Napoli and will look to continue the good work.
Team news and possible line-ups
Piotr Zielinski is available for Napoli for the midweek game and will likely play.
As for Liverpool, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Divock Origi will be unavailable as due to injury. While Adam Lallana is a doubt.
Napoli XI : Ospina, Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Rui, Callejon, Allan, Hamsik, Zielinski, Insigne, Mertens.

Prediction
It should be a good game between two good sides. I expect it to end a 1-1 draw. The goalscorers might be Lorenzo Insigne for Napoli and Mohamed Salah for Liverpool.
