- The Italians have failed to win any of their last three in Serie A but they are undefeated from their three matches so far in Group E.

Predicted line-up (4-4-2): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Manolas, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Callejon, Zielinski, Fabian Ruiz, Insigne; Lozano, Mertens
Unavailable: Malcuit (Injured), Ghoulam (Injured), Younes (Injured)

SALZBURG
- Salzburg need to turn performances into points or face elimination from the UCL after Napoli edged them in their last contest.
- The Austrian side have scored 11 goals in this year's competition so far but that has only yielded three points in Group E.
- Salzburg come into this contest with an increasing injury list and there are doubts over the fitness of captain Andreas Ulmer.
Predicted line-up (4-3-3): Carlos; Kristensen, Andre Ramalho, Wober, Ulmer; Minamino, Ashimeru, Mwepu; Junuzovic, Haaland, Hwang Hee-Chan
Unavailable: Bernede (Injured), Farkas (Injured), Stankovic (Injured), Prevljak (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
Salzburg will sense an opportunity to come away from this trip to Napoli with at least a point owing to the home side's poor league form of late. The Austrian side have not struggled for goals in this year's competition and they are likely to be involved in a high-scoring contest once again.
