The Champions League faces its final group stage, and for soccer fans it is a great way to close the semester and set their sights on the World Cup in Qatar. Liverpool vs Napoli will bring two teams already relieved to have already qualified for the playoffs, which will take place next year.
However, more will be at stake than just the honor of who will finish first in Group A: in the round of 16, the top finishers will face a runner-up, with the added advantage of defining the series at home. For now, Napoli are in the lead, but Liverpool can make their home advantage count, as well as their mystique in this type of tournament.

Liverpool Preview
it was a disconcerting start to the season for Liverpool, who, while not in bad shape, are not as solid or as good as they have been in previous years. In the league it runs from behind for the first time in a long time. However, in the Champions League, without being brilliant, it managed to qualify early on because the other two opponents in the group, Ajax and Rangers, have shown tremendous weakness.
The only loss was on their visit to Naples, where they lost 4-1. We will have to see how they fare in the rematch, at home, against an Italian team that is going through an excellent moment.
With the departure of Sadio Mané and the lack of consolidation of Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez in the offense, it still depends on what Mohamed Salah can do, as he is one of the top scorers in the Champions League with 6 goals so far. The team must win by a four-goal margin to take the top spot from the Italian team, which is not very likely with the form in which both teams are coming in.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Alisson Becker; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Harvey Elliott; Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firminho, Darwin Nunez.
Napoli Preview
It has been a dream start to the season for Napoli, who are in the driving seat in Serie A and lead Group A of the Champions League ahead of their next opponents, Liverpool, a team with a long history in this competition.
Luciano Spalletti seems to have found just the right point to make it become a fearsome, serious and respected team. The numbers don’t lie: together with Bayern Munich, they are the teams that have scored the most points in this group stage, 15 points. The Italians also scored the most goals, with 20. Giacomo Raspadori and Giovanni Simeone lead the way with four goals each.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Alex Meret; Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Leo Skiri Ostigard, Kim Mi-Jae, Mario Rui; Tanguy Ndombele, Stanislav Lobotka, Eljif Elmas; Matteo Politano, Giovanni Simeone, Giacomo Raspadori.
JefeBet Prediction
The relaxation of having already qualified for this match may cause both teams not to show their respective strengths on the field. In any case, Liverpool vs Napoli is expected to be evenly matched but with few scoring situations. A draw will suit the contest.
Prediction: Tie 1 to 1.
