Otherwise, the two-time Italian champions would depend on Liverpool’s help in the parallel group match against Salzburg. Although the home side are currently not very consistent and internal quarrels seem to prevent better performance, the Belgian champion should not be a stumbling block.

The Flemings are in the group with only one point long out of the race for a qualifier for the playoffs in the premier class. Even the third place, which would bring an overwintering in the Europa League, is out of reach.

Napoli – Statistics & Current Form

The kickers from Vesuvius are in a real crisis of form. Since nine competitive matches no victory was achieved. In domestic Serie A Napoli has meanwhile slipped to an indisputable seventh place. Of course, the runner-up can not be satisfied with this placement.

Especially not against the background that the places for the international business are already a whopping seven meters away. Coach Carlo Ancelotti is also about to shoot down, after apparently having fallen out with the not easy to maintain President Aurelio de Laurentiis.

A real Christmas peace does not stand out at the SSC. The services in the local Stadio San Paolo have recently suffered from the crisis. Since mid-October, no victory has been achieved in league play. The provisional low point was the recent home defeat against Bologna.

“All of us, including myself, must try to get the best out of our team.” SSC Coach Carlo Ancelotti before the match against Genk

The match took place against a team that had kicked itself for weeks without a win and only a few days later in the Coppa Italia again a 0: 4 clap at Udinese. So it is obvious that Napoli is currently not acting at the actual possible level of performance. At least in the Champions League, the balance sheet is satisfactory.

As the only club you are unbeaten in the group. Even a draw against the Flemings would solve the ticket for the round of 16.

In view of the recent weak performances, especially on the defensive, which only a clean sheet in retrospect took on the recent ten official games, the odds for a mutual goal success are also interesting at Napoli against Genk.

The Flemish offensive, which in contrast to the shaky defensive certainly offers individual class and remained only in the first leg against the Italians without scoring their own goal, also speaks for a guest’s goal. Instead succeeded among other things a hit at the Anfield Road with the Reds.

Expected formation of Napoli:
➦ Ospina – Maksimovic – Manolas – Koulibaly – Di Lorenzo – Zielinski – Elmas – Ruiz – Lozano – Lllorente – Insigne

Genk – Statistics & Current Form

The sporting decline of the KRC was foreseeable in view of the numerous departures in the summer. Only its power amazes something. Genk has been more or less in free-fall for weeks. The recent change of coach has not had a lasting effect.

The sporting responsibility now lies with Hannes Wolf, who was previously known to coach VfB Stuttgart and then the eleven of Hamburger SV. Only a victory could the native Bochumer recorded to date.

This succeeded in the dress rehearsal last Saturday against Cercle Bruges. However, this was the easiest task in the Jupiler League, because the opponent is in last place in the table. Elsewhere, Wolf’s record has a draw at Mouscron and a defeat at home to St. Truiden.

Both teams are certainly not among the stronger representatives in the Belgian House of Lords. There is also a hefty 1: 4 home defeat in the Champions League against Salzburg and the Cup against the Flemish neighbors from Antwerp.

Of course you have to give the new coach time to implement his game ideas, but it is obvious that the squad has lost a lot of quality compared to last year. Even in the Jupiler League, certainly not a demanding league due to low financial resources, the reigning championship ranks only in eighth place.

The new additions such as the Romanian Under-21 international Ianis Hagi in midfield or Theo Bongonda in the storm have not been able to close the playful gap by the departures so far. Of course, the missing individual class was shown very clearly in the Champions League.

With only one point out of five group matches, the Flemings for the other clubs usually represented little more than a sporting bye. Above all, the defensive is not designed for the claims of the competition. So no other starter in the entire group stage has scored more goals than the Smurfs.

The clear distribution of Napoli against Genk odds in favor of the hosts can be explained primarily by the described defensive weakness of the Smurfs.

Expected formation of Genk:
➦ Coucke – Lucumi – Figuero – Maehle – De Norre – Piotrowski – Berge – Ito – Hagi – Bongonda – Samata
