THE PREDICTION
2021-23 Champions League runners-up Liverpool begin their quest for a seventh European cup away at Napoli in what will be a stiff examination for Jurgen Klopp’s men, who have underperformed in the Premier League since the start of the campaign, winning just two of their six league matches. Napoli sit top of Serie A having accrued 11 points from a possible 15 so far and despite perhaps not boasting the star power of their opponents are riding the crest of a wave and will certainly fancy their chances against a side they have beaten at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in each of the last two times Napoli and Liverpool have clashed in the Champions League group stage. Liverpool will know that a difficult encounter is expected is on the cards for them, which may see the Reds temper their usual offensive aggression and play a little more cautiously, knowing that Napoli contain the capabilities to open them up at the other end of the pitch. Therefore, backing under 2.5 goals to be scored for what would be the fifth consecutive fixture between these two clubs looks a shrewd move.
