Napoli vs Leicester 09.12.2021
Following their 3-2 loss to Atlanta in the Serie A, Napoli will look to get back to winning ways when they host Leicester on Thursday.
With just 7 points from 5 games, this is a crucial game for the Italian side as a loss here will almost certainly obliterate their round of 16 chances. Also, after earning one win in 5 games across all competitions, Napoli are desperate. Hence, getting one over Leicester will ease the pressure on them.
Meanwhile, with just 2 wins in 10 games in all competitions, Leicester’s form has been far from impressive. However, a run of 8 points in 5 Europa League games has pushed them to the summit of Group C. As a result, a draw in this tie is enough to seal a last 16 berth for Rodgers’ men.
Looking at the goal-scoring form and defensive record of both teams, we are anticipating that there will be goals from both sides in this match.
