- Date: Wednesday, 15th, March 2023
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21.00 CET
- Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)
All football fans on the popular "boot" believe that this is the season in which, after 17 years, they will once again see their three representatives from Serie A among the best eight in the strongest club football competition in Europe. The last time such a scenario happened was in the 2005/06 campaign when Juventus, AC Milan and Inter reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. As for this year's edition. Last week, the Rossoneri managed to survive a difficult visit to Tottenham in London and by winning the first leg they were the first (of the Italian teams) to secure a place in the next phase of the elite competition. This week, we'll find out if AC Milan are joined by Inter (beat Porto 1-0 at home) and Napoli (transfers a huge 2-0 against Frankfurt).
Napoli vs Eintracht Frankfurt Betting Tips: Napoli to Win
Absolutely no one expected Napoli's performance like this before the start of the 2022/23 campaign. Probably even in their wildest dreams the most optimists among the fans could not dream that their beloved club would not only walk through Serie A, but also seriously compete for the trophy of the most elite competition.
The Scudetto, which is waiting for more than three decades, is widely celebrated in the south of Italy already after 26 matches played. The champagne is cooling at the "Stadio Diego Armando Maradona", because Napoli completely put the competition to sleep and pushed them far away from themselves. The difference of 18 points compared to the second-placed Inter seems unattainable.
It can be said that the Neapolitans have practically already completed most of the work in the Italian championship, but they have a long and thorny road ahead of them to the "Big Ear" trophy. However, the chosen of Luciano Spalletti not only do not fear anyone, but instill fear in the bones of their rivals. They proved that in Germany, when they brought to their knees Frankfurt (2-0).
At the weekend, Napoli made the best possible overture ahead of the second leg of the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, defeating La Dea from Bergamo by a routine 2-0. Interestingly, this was the fourth consecutive victory with this result (2-0), while their back line was breached only once in the last seven games.
The German representative is shaken by a serious crisis and at the worst possible moment. The defeat by the Neapolitans in their cortyard seemed to have opened "Pandora's box", since after that debacle, they won only two points in the next three Bundesliga games and with such a form, they have nothing to look for in Italy, on Wednesday.
With the fact that Die Adler did not manage to beat anyone in 2023 on away grounds, as well as that they will be weakened by not playing their best scorer Randal Kolo Muani (suspension), then it is completely clear to everyone that Napoli will have an excellent the chance to certify a place in the quarter-finals of the UCL with another routine victory.
