Did FC Barcelona digest the shock from La Liga? This is arguably the most crucial question when it comes to Saturday night whether the Spanish giant can prevail against the Neapolitans in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16. If we believe the odds of the best bookmakers before the kick-off between Barcelona and Napoli, then the home side will go into the game as the clear favorites.

However, this assessment of the betting providers is by no means due to the current form. While the Blaugrana had enormous problems getting their horsepower on the ground after the restart at the national level, the guests regained their self-confidence exactly one week ago in their 3-1 home win against Lazio.

The Catalans had just under three weeks to catch up and prepare for the new highlight of the season. The individual quality between Barcelona and Napoli is an indication of predicting the host. The fact that Barcelona has not lost any of their last 35 home games in the premier class underpins this.

Few are currently doubting the favorites will progress, especially since the first leg ended in a 1-1 draw five months ago. The Italians must, therefore, score at least one away goal, which in turn should play the host in the cards. The bottom line is that there is virtually no alternative to a tip for the Catalans between Barcelona and Napoli.

Barcelona – Statistics & current form

The resumption of play for FC Barcelona could hardly have been much worse. The Catalans lost only one of the eleven matches after the restart, but three-point splits ensured that Quique Setien’s team lost their lead over arch-rivals Real Madrid and finally had to congratulate Los Blancos on the championship.

The sting of frustration is still deep, although Blaugrana now has a unique chance in the Champions League to end the 2019/2020 season in a conciliatory manner. However, this needs the title, which the Spaniards have been able to claim a total of five times, most recently in 2015.

Barcelona have been unbeaten at Camp Nou for 14 knockout games

Statistically, the prospects of entering the final tournament are extremely good. In 21 of 26 cases in which Barca drew the first leg in the premier class, they also made it to the next round. Also, the Spanish runner-up has only two defeats in the last 30 games of the most important European club competition (18 wins, ten draws). In connection with the outstanding record of 35 unbeaten home games in a row in this competition, it becomes clear why the prediction between Barcelona and Napoli should be aligned in favor of the home side.

The recent numerous negative headlines don’t change that. Even if the team is not necessarily bursting with self-confidence, Coach Setien can build on so much quality that it would be negligent to assume a surprise on Saturday. In any case, we are convinced that Messi and Co. used the free time to get closer to the big goal of a Champions League triumph. Umtiti is injured, Busquets and Vidal have to watch blocked.

The probable formation of Barcelona:
➤ Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba; Roberto, Rakitic, De Jong; Messi, Suarez, Griezmann

Napoli – Statistics & current form

The fact that Napoli even has the opportunity to make it into the quarter-finals on Saturday evening is thanks to a very strong group stage for the top Italian club. In a group with Liverpool, RB Salzburg, and Genk, the men from the foot of Vesuvius reached second place and qualified for the round of 16, where the Gattuso-Elf offered the favored Catalans a hot fight in the first leg.

If the Azzurri can build on the performance from March, a sensation does not seem impossible. The bottom line is that there is relatively little to suggest that a tip on the underdog between Barcelona and Napoli will pay off. The light blue ended the Serie A season only in disappointing seventh place and were anything but constant even after the restart. After all, at home, the SSC remained unbeaten at the national level and also became the Coppa Italia winner.

The statistics speak clearly for Barcelona

At the weekend, however, a completely different caliber awaits the southern Italians, who for their part have never made it past the round of the last 16 in the premier class. Also, the Neapolitans have just landed seven wins in the past 21 games in the Champions League. The Partenopei usually struggled especially abroad, which is also underlined by the meager two away wins in the most recent nine European Cup games.

To make matters worse, coach Gattuso has to give up his important defender Manolas due to injury. Wing racer Insigne was also injured during the dress rehearsal against Lazio (3-1) but could get fit in time. Can the light blue team move into the next round of an international competition for the first time in their club history after the first leg ended in a draw in their stadium?

The probable lineup of Napoli:
➤ Ospina; Hysaj, Di Lorenzo, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Ruiz, Demme, Zielinski; Callejon, Mertens, Insigne

Last matches from Napoli:

Serie A
⚽️ 08/01 2020 SSC Napoli 3 – 1 Lazio Roma
⚽️ 07/28 2020 Inter Milan 2 – 0 SSC Napoli
⚽️ 07/25 2020 SSC Napoli 2 – 0 Sassuolo
⚽️ 07/22 2020 Parma Calcio 1913 2 – 1 SSC Napoli
⚽️ 07/19 2020 SSC Napoli 2 – 1 Udinese

Barcelona vs Napoli Direct comparison

The two teams will only face each other in a competitive game for the second time on Saturday evening. In the first leg, Mertens gave the underdog a 1-0 lead in the first half. Griezmann draws after the break to make it 1-1.

Should the Catalans remain unbeaten at home against an Italian representative for the 16th time in a row at the weekend, the Neapolitans would need two goals of their own in a potential draw to reach the final of the premier class after regular time.

Barcelona vs Napoli Betting Odds and Predictions

It is quite understandable that many experts view FC Barcelona with a certain skepticism these days. The Catalans not only gave the La Liga title recklessly after the restart but also had great problems using their capabilities.

Nevertheless, in the second round of the second leg in the Champions League between Barcelona and Napoli, very low betting odds are offered for the home win, which is partly because bookmakers expect a clear increase in the Setien team. On the other hand, it is also important that all the statistics naturally speak for the Catalans.

Key facts – Barcelona vs Napoli tips

🔺 Barcelona have not lost in 35 home games in the CL
🔺 Napoli must score at least one goal – first leg: 1-1
🔺 With the Italians, Manolas is an important defender

The Neapolitans can undoubtedly be an uncomfortable opponent, but in the recent past, they have mostly revealed their deficits abroad. Because the southern Italians also have to score at least one goal and therefore cannot concentrate exclusively on defending, we are pretty sure that Lionel Messi and Co. will land a success.
