Betting on Napoli
The team coached by Luciano Spalletti has become a serious threat to its rivals after its impeccable season in Serie A. In the Italian league, the Blues have 22 wins in 26 matches played and are the absolute leaders of the tournament. What’s more, Inter, who occupies the second place, is 18 points behind.
In the match played at the Deutsche Bank Park, the Azzurri dominated and won 2-0 with great collective plays that resulted in goals by Victor Osimhen and Giovanni Di Lorenzo. The score could have been higher, but a fantastic performance by goalkeeper Kevin Trapp prevented a goal from the penalty spot.
It is expected that in this new Napoli vs Eintracht Frankfurt clash, the Italian team will take advantage at home and calmly advance to the quarterfinals, taking into account that they recently lost an 11-game home unbeaten streak and that the visitors will be without one of their stars.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Alex Meret, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Mathías Olivera, Min-jae Kim, Piotr Zieliński, Stanislav Lobotka, Frank Anguissa, Hirving Lozano, Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Betting on Eintracht Frankfurt
This clash is expected to be a tough matchup for the visitors after losing at home and falling behind against the imposing Italian leaders. The match was intense, and the goalkeeper was the hero of the day, saving a penalty and stifling many more Napoli goals.
One of the important blows that changed the course of the match was the expulsion of Randal Kolo Muani in the 58th minute for a childish foul on one of the opponents. On the other hand, Oliver Glasner’s team is sixth in the Bundesliga, twelve points behind leaders Bayern Munich. In general, the performance has been regular, but in the last three matches they have not managed to win and have lost several points.
For those who believe in coincidences, Napoli vs Eintracht Frankfurt could be the chance to repeat the result of their last visit to Naples in 1994, where they won 1-0 in the UEFA Cup.
Possible lineup (3-4-2-1): Kevin Trapp; Lucas Melo, Kristijan Jakić, Evan Ndicka; Aurélio Buta, Daichi Kamada, Djibril Sow, Philipp Max; Jesper Lindstrøm, Mario Götze; Rafael Santos Borré.
JefeBet Prediction
For this clash between Napoli vs Eintracht Frankfurt, we believe that the home team will win.
Napoli’s overall focus is on Europe, considering that the domestic league is almost sealed. In the first leg they were far superior and could even have taken a bigger lead. Still, Frankfurt’s record is only three defeats in their last 20 European matches. This will probably be the most complex test for the Glasner team, but it will surely be up to a great show.
Prediction: Napoli wins 1-0.
