Napoli vs Eintracht Frankfurt Predictions | Champions League
Napoli vs Eintracht Frankfurt Recent Form
Napoli has been great this season in both the Champions League and the Serie A. At this time, they are the first-placed team with 68 points from 78 available, while the second-placed Inter has 50 points. During the course of the Serie A season, Napoli scored 60 goals in 26 games and conceded only 16.
The Italian side is heading into the Champions League week in great form. In their last 9 matches, Spalletti’s side has managed to win 8 games, only losing to Lazio in a 1-0 defeat.
On the other hand, Frankfurt are currently sitting in the 6th position in the Bundesliga table. This comes after a sharp decline in the form where the club only managed to win one game in their last five league matches. During this time, the German club scored 6 goals and conceded 8, with a 3-0 defeat to Koln being the most notable.
The German side will also be missing their in-form striker for Wednesday’s match. Namely, Kolo Muani received a red card during Frankfurt’s 2-0 defeat in the first leg. This means that the French attacker will not be able to play against Napoli in the rematch, as he is suspended. The 24-year-old is Frankfurt’s best goalscorer this season, with 11 goals and 10 assists in the Bundesliga.
Napoli vs Eintracht Frankfurt Head to Head
Wednesday’s match will be only the fourth time these two sides play against each other. Besides Napoli’s 2-0 win in the fixture’s first leg, they are winless against the German club.
The two had only met twice before this season, with their first encounter dating back to 1994. Frankfurt managed to beat Napoli 1-0 in both games and progressed to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup before losing to Juventus.
Napoli vs Eintracht Frankfurt Betting Tips
The home team is an overwhelming favorite to win this match after their convincing triumph in Germany. Moreover, the Napoli side is currently playing their best football in many years and will surely look to secure themselves a place in the Champions League quarterfinals. As a result, many punters expect a home win in SSC Napoli vs Eintracht Frankfurt predictions.
However, if you’re looking to place a bet with higher odds, a Napoli team to win and keep a clean sheet could be a solid choice. The home team is great defensively, and on top of that, Frankfurt is missing their key goalscorer. So, they will definitely have a much harder time scoring a goal.
Another wager that could prove useful for SSC Napoli vs Eintracht Frankfurt predictions is Napoli to lead at HT and win. After an impressive display in Germany, many expect Napoli to take full advantage of their home stadium. It would be no surprise to see Spalletti go for a big result as his team goes through to the quarterfinals.
If you’re looking to place correct score predictions, consider wagering on 2-0, or 3-0 Napoli victory. You can find these options with betting odds of 7.00 or 11.00.
