Match preview

Will Napoli continue to be unstoppable in the Champions League this season?

I Partenopei sit on maximum points, having scored a whopping 17 goals in four matches so far.

A fortnight ago, they swatted aside Ajax 4-2, with Hirving Lozano, Giacomo Raspadori, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen all netting.

Napoli have never reached the quarter-finals of this competition, falling in the round of 16 in 1991, 2012, 2017 and 2020.

However, the way they’re playing, Luciano Spalletti’s side are looking set to change that fact, with Napoli fans also rightly dreaming of a first Scudetto for 32 years.

To say things aren’t going quite so well for Rangers would be an understatement.

On matchday four, Scott Arfield broke the deadlock at Ibrox, but Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team were eventually humbled 7-1 by Liverpool.

This is the Light Blues’ biggest home defeat of all-time, joint with a 6-0 defeat to Real Madrid from 1963 as their heaviest hammering ever.

So, to even finish third, the Gers need a result here, hope Ajax los simultaneously, and then beat the Dutch champions next Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Saturday’s dismal 1-1 draw with ten-man Livingston has led to many calling for van Bronckhorst to be sacked.

The Dutch manager cannot afford another battering here but, unfortunately for hime, that seems likely.

If Napoli win, and Liverpool fail to do so in Amsterdam, they’ll rubber stamp top spot, so will it be another memorable night at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona?
