On the upcoming Tuesday, Nice will host Napoli at their home ground within the second match of the Champions League qualification. The first match of the confrontation was held at the Neapolitan team’s field and brought the Italians a victory with a score of 2:0, which can lead the men from Naples to the Champions League group stage. Nice still have a chance to break through to the UCL group stage, but the Eagles will have to score at least twice in Napoli’s net and hope, that Hamsik and Co will not be able to break their defense not even once.
Nice have started the French championship weakly, whereas the Eagles managed by some kind of miracle to pass through quite tough Ajax in the third qualifying round of the Champions Leauge. The first match of the confrontation ended with a score of 1:1, the match was held on Nice’s pitch, the second match brought a more efficient outcome 2:2.
Napoli’s managing staff probably has been following Nice’s actions, both in Ligue 1 matches and the Champions League qualification round. Therefore there is no surprise in the fact, that in the first game in Naples Nice didn’t even deserve a goal. Napoli were stronger in every way and deserved a confident victory. Napoli will go to France to hold their advantage, the team knows perfectly, how to play away matches.
Nice have big problems with attack, the team will hardly be able to achieve a positive result at their home ground in the match with strong Napoli, which play very well in away games. A bet on total under looks well in this couple.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goals in the match
