Match Overview
Real Madrid and Napoli meet each other in a brilliant UEFA Champions League fixture at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday. The home team will feel that they can get a slight advantage over their opponents given how well they know these conditions, but it will not be easy for them given how strong the side from Naples defend when put under pressure.
Key Highlights
It is extremely interesting to note that out of the three matches played between these two teams, Real Madrid have won them all. Napoli have not been able to either draw or win a single competitive game against Real Madrid in the past, and this will be the motivation for them when they travel to the capital of Spain for this game.
Injury Report
Real Madrid have a long list of injured players in their ranks which includes the likes of Vinicius Junior, Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao among others. For Napoli, Mario Rui and Jesper Lindstrom will not be available for selection.
Prediction
Real Madrid appear to be the downright favourites to win this game. We expect them to do so quite comfortably as well. One has to remember that Real Madrid have scored a minimum of three goals each of the times that they have played against Napoli. The visiting side, whose defence is usually so tight, need to make sure that they do not leak goals on Wednesday.
