Barcelona

Barcelona is having a rather uneventful season, and there is a lot of criticism towards the team. There are failures in La Liga, where the Catalans are only in third place, and misfires in the group stage of the Champions League. But still, Xavi keeps the situation under control, as from the quartet in the Champions League, his wards came out of the first place, and in the Spanish championship, there is still an opportunity to catch up with the leaders. And the first match of the best tournament in Naples can be safely put in the asset - Barcelona played a draw with Napoli (1:1).

Napoli

After a terrific season and the Scudetto, Napoli is not fabulous in this one. In Serie A, the team sits only in the seventh position with 44 points, which is even outside the European Cup competition. At the group stage of the Champions League, too, there were problems, but the Neapolitans gained their ten points, eventually taking second place in the quartet and easily getting a ticket to the playoffs. Napoli didn't look great in the first leg against Barcelona, but thanks to Victor Osimhen's 75th-minute goal, they managed to snatch a 1:1 draw, making the return leg much easier.

Expert Betting Tips

Napoli should not be underestimated early on. The team has problems, but Barcelona is far from perfect this season, either. For sure, the Italian club has worked on their mistakes, so we expect more expressive football from them in Spain. Another thing is that it will be a huge problem to hold off the Catalans at home. We note that the teams score regularly, and their face-to-face meetings historically please us with goals from both sides - in the last five, there was an exchange of goals. And now the rivals have every chance to upset each other at least once, so we offer a bet on the classic BTTS.
