Napoli – Statistics & Current Form

For the troupe of coach Carlo Ancelotti, the fate of the last season will not be repeated. At that time, the Hellbau had to say goodbye to the competition in the semifinals, whereby only the away goals rule in the duel with RB Leipzig was the decisive factor. A parallel is again the way into the Europa League: Napoli once again participates in the playoffs, because it was enough in the group stage in the Champions League only to third place in their own group. With PSG and Liverpool FC, however, the opposition was extremely difficult this year and in the end sealed only the lost last group game at Anfield Road the farewell.

That it will work again in the next season with the group stage, however, is very safe. After all, Napoli is in the Serie A in second place, so the qualification would be done. However, last weekend saw only a goalless draw at home to Torino, leaving Juve with 13 points. The Scudetto must therefore make up Napoli. For the two-time Italian champion, most recently in 1990, on the other hand threatened by the rear seats little danger, as Inter Milan is still seven points behind. Napoli thus moves in its own sphere, as it is too good for the rest of the league, but not even reaches Juve.

Napoli’s Marek Hamsik, who moved to China last week, can not run aground any more. The 31-year-old Slovak will now play for Dalian Yifang, who was trained by the German Bernd Schuster a few days ago.

So he scored no hit throughout the season, after he often ended the season in the past with a double-digit yield. Overall, he scored 121 goals over the years, surpassing even the legendary Diego Maradona.
