Napoli v Red Star Belgrade
Champions League. Wednesday November 28. Kick-off 8pm. Live on BT Sport Extra 2.
NAPOLI top the group of death ahead of big hitters Liverpool and PSG and victory is a must tonight ahead of the Italians' final-day showdown at Anfield.
Carlo Ancelotti's men won't be taking Red Star lightly after drawing 0-0 away to the Serbs, who stunned Liverpool 2-0 at home last time out.
Red Star were expected to be the group's whipping boys but they're still in the mix for the knockout round.
There's a big contrast between their home and away form though with their two road trips seeing them thumped 6-1 at PSG and 4-0 in Liverpool.
They'll no doubt park the bus tonight and hope to keep Napoli at bay for as long as possible but it's a gameplan destined to end in tears.
Ancelotti's side have already beaten Liverpool in Naples and drawn home and away with PSG and three points looks a given tonight.
Napoli are extremely skinny at 1-6 for the win so go for them -2 on the Asian handicap (money back if they win by two goals) at 4-5 with 888sport.
Lorenzo Insigne has scored in three successive Champions League appearances and the Italy frontman is worth taking to get on the scoresheet in a home win at 6-5 with 888Sport.
Spanish ref Jesus Gil is the man in the middle tonight and isn't shy of reaching for his pocket.
He's averaging just under five cards a game this season and dished out eight bookings in Atletico Madrid v Barcelona last weekend.
His two previous Euro assignments this season featured four and six bookings and tonight's clash could be a feisty affair. Napoli had four cards to Red Star's two in their first meeting and I'm chancing over 1.5 home cards at 13-10 with 888Sport.
Recommended Bets
- Napoli -2 Asian handicap (4-5, 888Sport)
- Insigne to score and Napoli win (6-5, 888sport)
- Over 1.5 Napoli cards (13-10, 888Sport)
