Liverpool Win or Draw and Over 2.5 Goals
Liverpool won their last four games in the Champions League. Moreover, the Reds are undefeated in their previous eight home games. The goal stats show that there is a 70% chance that this game will produce over 2.5 goals.
Both Teams to Score Yes
60% of Liverpool’s and Napoli’s games in the Champions League produced goals from both teams. The last two matches between these two clubs also saw goals from both Liverpool and Napoli.
Score During the Match 0-1
In four of Napoli’s five games in the Champions League, the Italians took a 1-0 lead. In addition, Napoli scored the first goal in the last three meetings with Liverpool home and away.
Liverpool
After a losing start to the 2022/23 Champions League campaign, Liverpool went on to win their next four games. In fact, the Reds had lost to Napoli in the opening round in one of their heaviest European defeats by 4-1. Moreover, Liverpool have not beaten Napoli in their last three meetings.
However, since that defeat, Jurgen Klopp’s men have been invincible scoring two or more goals in the next four outings with a total of 14 strikes. Conceding just two goals in four games also shows how Liverpool’s defense developed as the competition went on.
Napoli
Napoli’s amazing season is also reflected in the Champions League with the Serie A leaders winning all of their five fixtures. Obviously, the Blues’ incredible offensive record with four goals a game average is the best among all of the UCL teams.
Incredibly, Napoli’s away scoring record is even better than their home one if we consider their last ten fixtures in all competitions. Coming into this game, Spaletti’s team has the upper hand in the last five h2hs winning three drawing one, and losing one. Napoli scored at least a goal in all of those meetings.
This one is surely expected to be an entertaining encounter with no pressure on both teams since they qualified both for the next round. Nonetheless, Liverpool will long to avenge their loss on matchday one at Anfield. To conclude, we will back a double chance of a home win or draw combined with over 2.5 goals.
In nine of the ten matches played by Liverpool and Napoli this season in the Champions League, there were goals in both halves. Hence, with odds of 1.50 at 1XBet, we predict to see goals in both halves in Wednesday’s game.
Mohamed Salah has been a huge success in Liverpool since joining in 2017. The numbers speak for themselves with the Egyptian scoring 121 goals in 191 total games. This season Salah scored six goals in the UCL including a hattrick in six minutes against Rangers in Glasgow.
For Liverpool, Henderson, Alcantara, Jota, Matip, Diaz, Arthur, and Keita are nursing various injuries.
Napoli meanwhile will be without Sirigu and Rrahmani.
