Napoli vs RB Salzburg Match Preview
Napoli host RB Salzburg for their Champions League clash just days after their Serie A trip to Roma, looking to bag important points in front of the home fans and keep hold of the top spot in Group E – after bagging seven points in first three games including a thriller 2-3 win at Red Bull Arena two weeks ago.
Partenopei have been scoring goals on the regular but they’ve seen hiccups lately, where both SPAL (1-1) and Atalanta (2-2) snatched points since the trip to Salzburg. Carlo Ancelotti was sent off amid a VAR controversy against La Dea and he will now hope his men can put it behind them, as they will need to show more.
RB Salzburg have shown off as a very tough side to outclass and they’ve been scoring numbers of goals on the regular. They bagged two or more in 18 of their 19 outings across competitions this term and we’ll surely see an attacking approach on the day as well, regardless of the tough challenge expected.
Die Mozartstadter bounced since their loss to Napoli and they beat Rapid Wien (3-2) and Ebreichsdorf (0-5 in Cup), which should have them in a great mood despite a busy schedule. In-form Erling Haaland impressed in the final third and the star youngster will lead the line again, having netted six goals in three Group E outings as well as 12 in 10 Austrian Bundesliga appearances.
We do feel Napoli will still have what it takes to secure all three points and we’ll now back them to outgun the tough visitors in another exciting clash, going for a Home win at 17/20 with bet365 – which still feels like the best approach to the fixture.
We should be in for goals and we hope RB Salzburg can do their bit in making this a great occasion too. However, we don’t feel we’re in for as many and going for Under 3.5 Goals FT still feels like a solid approach for those hoping to see a winner, coming at 10/11 with William Hill.
