Barcelona welcomes Italian side Napoli to Camp Nou, they'll be wanting to revenge Barcelona who knocked them out from the Champions League on this same Camp Nou.
Barcelona are are meant to go far in there first ever UEFA Europa league campaign..
They have scored two plus in their last four to five matches, Frankie de Jong seems to be in a good goal scoring form as he has score in back to back games for them.

napoli is not an easy draw for barcelona. They also have a strong team. I think barcelona could be very difficult. Especially if these players are not motivated, because they are used to playing in the champions league. when frenkie de Jong has his day he plays the stars in the sky but sometimes he is invisible the whole match that is probe it is an enormous talent. barcelona will continue in 2 games presumably

Barcelona vs Napoli match is very interesting for me, because I want to see Barcelona who used to play in the Champions League now have
to play in the Europa League. Is it true that Barcelona players are not motivated to win the Europa League trophy or is it just a rumour.
We can all see it later when Barcelona face Napoli, but my prediction is that Barcelona will give their best in this match. Because I believe Xavi
and the Barcelona players are professionals, so even if they play in the Europa League they will try to show their best game. I'm pretty optimistic
that Barcelona will beat Napoli, although Napoli is not an easy team to beat.

Barcelona have too bad a vanguard at the moment. Definitely not world class players. It's not Messi, Suarez and Neymar. Now they have to make do with Luuk de Jong and Depay. That does make a difference. I think it will be a 50-50 game, maybe we can see some goals in this game. Napoli is certainly not to be underestimated. It is very difficult to estimate where Barcelona currently stands in Europe.

I admit that the quality of the forwards that Barcelona currently has is not as good as Messi or Neymar, but it was because Barcelona were
having financial problems so Xavi had to bring in players who didn't have to spend a lot of money. Maybe Depay still can't play because of injury,
while Luuk de Jong is better as a super sub, Barcelona can rely on their new players, namely Adama Traore and Aubameyang. Therefore
Barcelona cannot underestimate Napoli, even though Barcelona's head to head record is still better than Napoli. Moreover, in Serie A, Napoli are
also in good form and are playing quite consistently, being able to compete with Inter and AC Milan. As I said before I did predict Barcelona will
beat Napoli, but Barcelona need to work hard to beat Napoli.

I think we all can agree that it’s too risky to bet on the winner as both sides look good on paper, and the only safe bet is on the number of goals but then again I wonder what if they end up playing a goalless draw?. Lastly one will need to take a huge leap of faith irrespective of the bets he/she decides to place, and I would strongly advise not to wager huge in this unpredictable match.
