    What’s happened to Napoli? They waited years to win Serie A, finally did it last year, and now they’re sitting ninth, so it’s not gone well at all since last season. Maybe they got carried away by the success.

    They only drew at the weekend with Genoa at home, 1-1. It was with a 90th-minute equaliser for Napoli, but that’s still a sign things are not going well this season – they won the league by 16 points last year.

    For Barcelona, things are not going so well either.

    They are third in La Liga, eight points behind Real Madrid and Xavi’s said he’s leaving at the end of the season – if he lasts that long.

    But they won at the weekend against Celta Vigo 2-1, with Lewandowski getting both goals.

    So, I’m going for Barcelona to win this by the odd goal.

    Napoli have a lot of attacking threats too, so I’d expect them to get at least one, which mean Both Team To Score should be in there.

    And Over 2.5 Goals should come in as well.

    I expect Robert Lewandowski to score. after his brace at the weekend.

    Frenkie de Jong to have at least one shot on target.
