📋 Team News: Barcelona

Ferran Torres (Hamstring injury), Frenkie de Jong (Ankle injury), Pedri (Hamstring injury), Gavi (Cruciate ligament tear) and Alejandro Balde (Tendon rupture) will be missing for Barcelona gaffer Xavi Hernández.

In our view, Barça will probably kick off with a 4-3-3 system for this one, utilising M. ter Stegen, Jules Kounde, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsi, Joao Cancelo, Ilkay Gundogan, Andreas Christensen, Fermin Lopez, Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Joao Felix.

📰 Team News: Napoli

With a fully injury-free squad ready to go, the Napoli boss Francesco Calzona has zero fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this match.

From our viewpoint, Partenopei seem likely to elect for a 4-3-3 system, going with Alex Meret, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Leo Oestigard, Juan Jesus, Pasquale Mazzocchi, A. Zambo Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, Hamed Traore, Matteo Politano, Victor Osimhen and K. Kvaratskhelia.

⚡ Prediction _HT/FT (1/1)

Here is a game where SSC Napoli may find it difficult to score goals against this Barcelona side who we reckon should score & stay on top.

We’ve gone for a very even match with a 1-0 win for Barcelona at the end of this one.

Should be interesting.
