Salzburg vs NapoliChampions LeagueDate: Wednesday, 23 October 2019Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CETVenue: Red Bull Arena (Salzburg).NEWS TEAM
SALZBURG
Salzburg almost produced an incredible comeback against Liverpool at the last but could not keep having leveled the game.
Salzburg were three goals down at Anfield and showed great character to fight back but want to avoid defeat here to go back on track.
Hwang Hee-Chan is doubtful for this game, but should partner Norwegian starlet Erling Haaland Braut if he passes a fitness test.
Predicted line-up (4-4-2): Stankovic; Kristensen Onguene, Wober, Ulmer; Szoboszlai, Mwepe, Junuzovic, Minamino; Hwang Hee-Chan, Haaland
Not available: Bernede (Hurt), Walke (Injured)
Doubtful: Hwang Hee-Chan (Injured)
NAPOLI
Napoli were held to a disappointing draw with Genk match day two and hopefully this result is not essential in a competitive Group E.
Napoli almost have a full complement of players available, but back Hysaj law is uncertain while Nikola Maksimovic remains out.
Fabian Ruiz is likely to have a big say in the game and he will be responsible to dictate the game in what should be a high-octane contest.
Predicted line-up (4-4-2): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Manolas, Koulibaly Ghulam; Callejon Allan Fabian Ruiz, Insignia; Milik, Mertens
Not available: Maksimovic (Injured) Hysaj (Injured)
Doubtful: Lozano (Hurt)
Prediction
It is a game between two teams that have a fascinating individual quality, but at a level quite different.
However, Salzburg has the quality to be in the Champions League, it is clear that Naples has a team much more capable and more valuable than the Austrian team.
I expect that we can have another fascinating game here, much like what happened in previous matches of the local population, who were impressive from an offensive standpoint and with many goals.
Defensive errors are also distinguished tactics and technical quality of the team is unbalanced, which should stimulate some game goals.
