Barcelona vs Napoli Predictions

Barcelona are plagued by injuries and can’t be trusted this season when playing against high-profile teams. Napoli are efficient recently, but struggle on the road, so I will mark the draw & BTTS as best bets.

Head to Head

Barcelona have a 5-1 advantage against Napoli with 3 draws in 9 matches.

They last met in February, the first tie ending without a winner 1-1 in Italy.

Barcelona Form

Barcelona struggled with creativity in the first tie against Napoli, ending that duel with 0.74 expected goals and 55% possession. They gained advantage in the second half, Robert Lewandowski finding the net on Pedri’s assist, but the final result was 1-1.

Blaugrana hosted Mallorca in the Spanish La Liga last Friday, dominated the entire match but still waited 73 minutes to break the deadlock through Lamine Yamal. Also, Ilkay Gundogan failed to convert a penalty in the first half.

Xavi Hernandez’s side suffered two unexpected losses in the UEFA Champions League against Antwerp 3-2 and Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0, but still advanced as Group H winners with 12 points ahead of Porto.

Barcelona Injuries & Team News

Gavi, Marcos Alonso, Alejandro Balde, Ferran Torres, Pedi, Frankie de Jong and Raphinha are injured.

Napoli Form

Napoli were not as successful in their domestic obligations as Barcelona, failing to beat Torino on Friday night at home, the match ending without a winner 1-1.

They dominated the clash with 1.53-1.14 expected goals, 63% possession and 22-11 shots, but still ended up winning just one point. Kvicha Kvaratskhelia was the only scorer for Napoli in the second half.

Partenopei are having a very poor campaign in the Serie A, dropping out of the title race early on and currently sitting in 7th place with a low chance to battle for Top 4 positions.

Napoli ended their seven-game winless streak for their road matches with a thumping 6-1 win against Sassuolo in late February.

Napoli Injuries & Team News

Cyril Ngonge and Jens Cajuste are injured.

Verdict

Barcelona v Napoli

It’s been a while since Barcelona defeated any high-profile team across competitions. Napoli improved under the new head manager Calzone, so I expect to see another extra-time in Spain with BTTS.
