Napoli Preview – Can Napoli honour legend?
Having won three of their last four matches in all competitions, Thursday night’s hosts, Napoli, will be going in search of another win when they entertain Spanish visitors, Real Sociedad, at their newly named Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as they look to honour their former legend.
Victories over Rijeka in the Europa League along with Serie A wins against Roma 4-0 and Crotone 4-0 should give Napoli plenty of confidence ahead of this Matchday 6 clash against Real Sociedad, especially as the hosts have lost just one of their five group matches to date.
Wins so far against Real Sociedad (away) along with home and away wins over Rijeka have placed Napoli top of Group F but Napoli will be keen to grab just one more win in this final round of matches to ensure that they not only finish top of the group but also ensure they receive the most favourable tie in the knockout rounds.
Real Sociedad Preview – Can Real Sociedad avenge earlier defeat?
2nd placed Real Sociedad also need all three points in this final match in Group F as they sit level on eights points apiece with 3rd placed AZ who travel to rock-bottom Rijeka on Matchday 6 and the Dutch side look favourites to pick up all three points in Croatia on Thursday night.
Real Sociedad have put together an eight-match unbeaten run in all competitions but their last four on the trot have ended in stalemates and include draws with AZ and a disappointing draw with Rijeka which could ultimately come back to bite the Spanish visitors.
The bigger picture shows that Real Sociedad have lost three of their last eight ties away from home in the Europa League, and they could well fall at the final hurdle against a Napoli side who perhaps have the greater incentive here.
