Napoli will host Real Madrid at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Tuesday, in what could be the most intriguing match of this week's UEFA Champions' League group stage. Azurri secured their first win against Braga, while a late goal decided Real's first match against Union Berlin. Both sides meet in Naples, where Real coach Carlo Ancelotti coached from 2018 to 2019.
Napoli:
The home team is expected to play with a 4-3-3 formation, with Kostas Manolas and Matteo Politano on the wings, and Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen leading the attack. Brazilian defender Nathan should start in the center-back position alongside Léo Ostigard.
Expected Napoli XI: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Ostigard, Nathan, Oliveira; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Politano, Osimhen, Kwiatkowski.
Real Madrid:
Carlo Ancelotti's team should make no surprising changes against Napoli, hoping to start with Aurelien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga alongside Toni Kroos, while Rodrigo and Vinicius Junior support Karim Benzema upfront.
Expected Real Madrid XI: Kepa; Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy; Kroos, Tchouaméni; Benzema; Rodrigo, Vinicius Junior.
Prediction:
Real Madrid is favored before the game, but Napoli has shown improvement in their last two matches, and the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium can be a challenging venue. Choose: Napoli 2, Real Madrid 2."
