Napoli are in very good form as they remain top of their league. They are unbeaten in the league this season with five wins in the last five games. Napoli have a great record against Liverpool with three wins in their last five games. Liverpool are currently not in form as they have struggled in their last few games. I see Napoli getting a win as they haven't lost their last four games against Liverpool. I predict Napoli to win both halves

Napoli have scored a goal in five of their last five games in all competitions. Liverpool have scored a goal in four of their last five games. Both teams are very dangerous in front of the goal. Napoli have scored 20 goals in the Champions League while Liverpool have scored 15 goals. I predict both teams will score.
