Napoli Team News
The Napoli team delighted and positively surprised all football fans this season. They are certainly one of the best teams in Italy, but few expected Napoli’s dominance at the beginning of the season.
After 11 games played, the Napoli team is still undefeated in Serie A. They are currently the first-placed team in the league with nine wins and two draws, adding four wins in the Champions League.
At the start of the new season, the attacking zone looks phenomenal, which is proven by 11 matches in the domestic championship, where Napoli scored 26 goals, while in four matches of the Champions League, they added 17 goals. Considering their form, it is to be expected that they will create a large number of scoring chances, be dominant in the middle of the field and extend the streak of 11 consecutive victories.
Preceding this match, Napoli has no big problems with absences. They cannot count on the standard centre-back, Amir Rrahmani.
Rangers Team News
Rangers lost the race with Celtic for the title last season, and they have not done well in this season either. They are currently four points behind Celtic in the domestic championship and enter the match with Napoli after a disappointing draw with Livingston.
In the matches of the Champions League, the difference between Rangers and rest of the teams in Europe is obvious. They are currently without a point, asserting that in four matches they scored only one goal and conceded 16, emphasizing that they lost all games by at least two goals.
Additionally, the Rangers team has numerous problems with injured players before this match. Connor Goldson, Ryan Jack and Tom Lawrence who have a huge role in the team’s games cannot be relied on. Helander, Hagi, Ofoborh and Souttar have been out of action for a long time and we are not going to see them in today’s match either. On the other hand, the performance of Glen Kamara and Alex Lowry is questionable.
H2H
- These teams have played only one duel so far, more precisely, this year when Napoli won 3-0 at Ibrox.
Napoli vs. Rangers Prediction
Napoli has been perfect by becoming the first-placed Serie A team, while in the Champions League they registered four victories with plenty goals scored. They are currently in a series of 11 consecutive victories and are playing at a really high level. On the other hand, the Rangers team does not seem the best at the onset of the season, and the draw at Ibrox against Livingston at the weekend confirms that they are not in the best shape.
Napoli dominated in the first meeting with Rangers as well by achieving a 3-0 victory. Now they are playing at home and Rangers have many problems with injured players, therefore, in this match we expect even greater dominance from Napoli and a new high victory.
