Napoli vs Barcelona: Match Preview and Prediction
Napoli vs Barcelona: This Spanish La Liga season, the reigning champions of Spain were unable to put on the same commanding performance. Nonetheless, they’ve had an excellent season in the Champions League. On Wednesday, the team will travel to Napoli for their UCL semifinal match.
Barcelona has won three of its last four games, scoring goals at a very good pace. The team is currently unbeaten.
Napoli has not scored in three of the last five games and has lost four of them. Barcelona has won six of the last eight away games, demonstrating their great road performance in all competitions.
Barcelona comes into this game coming off a 1-2 La Liga victory against Celta Vigo. They have now gone four games without a loss and have won three of them, as we previously stated. It’s also important to highlight that in those four games, their attacking line has scored nine goals.
Napoli, however, comes into this game off a 1-1 draw. It was their fourth lossless game in the previous five games. Such erratic play will undoubtedly hurt their prospects on Wednesday when they play Barcelona of Spain.
Napoli vs Barcelona: Betting Analysis
Barcelona has always been the stronger team in this series, having gone undefeated against Napoli with the exception of one game. In their last six meetings head-to-head with Napoli, Barcelona scored 15 goals.
Barca has defeated Napoli in three straight games at this location and has scored nine goals during that time.
All of the above supports Barcelona, the visiting team. Host Napoli has lost five of its past ten home games and scored zero in four. In contrast, Barcelona has won six of eight away games. They also have great attacking performances in recent matches and head-to-heads.
For this reason, we like to open this match with Barcelona winning. Given their strong goal-scoring record, we believe it is wise to support Barcelona in scoring more than 1.5 goals. We like to recommend Barcelona win the Ht/Ft tip as well, because we don’t think Napoli will score.
