Liverpool take on Napoli tonight (Wednesday) in their first UEFA Champions League campaign on a high as they are coming into this game on the back of a goalless draw against cross-town rivals Everton in a Premier League contest this past weekend.
The Reds have picked up just nine points from six Premier League matches so far, and Jurgen Klopp will demand massive improvement from his players in the upcoming matches.
Meanwhile, Napoli are unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, and they come into this game on the back of a narrow 2-1 win over Lazio.
The Serie A giants will look to make the most of Liverpool’s inconsistencies and grind out all three points at home.
Liverpool have struggled against weaker teams than Napoli this season, and this will be a tricky outing for them.
Luciano Spalletti’s charges have considerable firepower upfront, and they will look to hurt a porous Liverpool defence.
Napoli are currently at the top of the Serie A table, and they will look to do the same in their UEFA Champions League group as well.
Meanwhile, Liverpool failed to beat Napoli home and away when the two sides were placed in the same group back in 2019/20, and they will have to improve considerably to get a positive result this time around.
