Napoli Preview – Can Spalletti’s side shock the English giants?
Luciano Spalletti’s Napoli, who finished third last term, have made a solid start to their 2022-23 Serie A campaign. After five league games played, Gli Azzurri have won three and drawn two and sit second behind Atalanta.
Napoli are a tough nut to crack at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, but they dropped points to Lecce in their last one at home. Prior to that, they thumped Monza 4-0. Home form could be key to their Champions League dreams this term.
With Ajax and Rangers also in Group A, Napoli will fancy their chances of progressing to the knockout stages. The Parthenopeans may be the underdogs on home turf, but can they start their European season by shocking last term’s runners-up?
Liverpool Preview – Will the Reds return to Merseyside with three points?
Liverpool had a season to remember last time around, finishing runners-up in the Champions League and Premier League and winning the FA Cup and EFL Cup. Can the Merseyside outfit replicate that success this term?
Jurgen Klopp’s boys have had a mixed bag of results at the start of this season. After beating Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, Liverpool kicked off their Premier League campaign with two draws and a defeat. They then secured back-to-back home wins over Bournemouth and Newcastle United before drawing 0-0 at Everton in the Merseyside derby last weekend.

Napoli vs Liverpool Betting Advice
Napoli have certainly given Liverpool problems in Europe in recent years. In the 2019-20 season, the Italian side beat Liverpool 2-0 in Naples and picked up a handy 1-1 draw at Anfield. Liverpool have won just one of the past four meetings.
These two have met regularly in Europe over the past decade or so, with Wednesday’s clash being the seventh meetings since October 2010.
Key Facts – Napoli vs Liverpool Betting Tip
- Napoli are unbeaten so far this season
- The Italian club have lost just one of their last four against Liverpool

Liverpool will want to get their Champions League season up and running with three points, but a draw would not be a disastrous result for the Premier League side, especially as their next two Group A games are at Anfield.
Put some money on the draw and both teams to score, which bet365 has generously priced at 7/2. The 1-1 draw at 6/1 (BetVictor) is also standing out.
