Game Preview
Liverpool will be hoping that their recent domestic misfortune does not carry over onto the European stage when Napoli play host to the Reds in their opening Champions League Group A match on Wednesday. The two sides renew hostilities at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona before also meeting Ajax and Rangers in Group A, and the Partenopei have enjoyed a far better opening to their league season.
Having failed to win any of their three away games in the top flight so far, a trip to Naples may not fill the Anfield faithful with confidence at a first glance, but Klopp’s side remarkably won all six of their Champions League games on the road last term prior to a 1-0 loss to Real Madrid in the final. That showpiece event will be best remembered for the disgraceful scenes outside the Stade de France both prior and after kickoff, but on the pitch, the wily veteran Carlo Ancelotti and his Blancos side demonstrated their continental nous in a mirror image of the 2018 final.
For Napoli, whispers of a Serie A title charge are still prevalent around Naples, as Luciano Spalletti’s side returned to winning ways in ideal fashion against Lazio after dropping four points against Fiorentina and Lecce at the end of August. The effervescent Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored his fourth Serie A goal of the season to steal all three points for Napoli, who initially went behind to Mattia Zaccagni’s fourth-minute opener before Kim Min-jae restored parity with a header before half time.
Napoli have endured the pain of two consecutive Europa League last-32 exits in the last two seasons, falling to Spanish pair Granada and Barcelona, but an eight-game unbeaten run at home in the Champions League since November 2017 stands Spalletti’s side in good stead. Fortunately for Napoli, Klopp’s attackers have struggled to convince early doors and must now attempt what no Liverpool team has done before, score an away goal against Napoli.
