The Round of 32 in the 2020/21 Europa League continues on Thursday night and one of the most exciting games in prospect is between Napoli and Granada.
This match will be played at the Stadio San Paolo, Naples but as with many of the matches around Europe, there will be no fans in attendance to cheer on the teams.
Napoli come into the match with plenty of work to do as they lost the first leg of the tie 2-0 in Spain. Both goals came in the first half of the match and after 21 minutes Napoli found themselves two goals down and could not get back into the game.
They followed that defeat with another loss on the weekend in Serie A. Napoli lost 4-2 at Atalanta and currently find themselves 7th in the league, outside of the European qualifying places.
That defeat was their 4th in 5 matches in all competitions and the only victory in Napoli’s 6 most recent games came at home against Juventus in Serie A.
However, trends show Napoli have remained undefeated in 5 of their last 6 Europa League matches. They have proved difficult to beat in recent Europa League games but have managed to win just one of their last 4 at home in the competition.
Under 2.5 goals have been scored in the 4 most recent Europa League games of Napoli. They have also seen under 2.5 goals in each of their last 4 Europa League matches at home.
Granada were delighted to record a 2-0 victory in the first leg of this tie. Not only do they take a two goal cushion with them to Italy but they also avoided conceding an away goal and that could work in their favour.
Having defeated Napoli, Granada travelled to Huesca in La Liga and came away with a 3-2 loss. Despite having taken an early lead in the game, Granada found themselves 3-1 at the break and could not bring it back.
That defeat means Granada have won only one of their last 6 matches in all competitions. The single victory was the first leg of this tie and Granada find themselves 9th in La Liga.
Trends show Granada have not been beaten in 9 of their 10 most recent matches in Europa League and under 2.5 goals have been scored in their last 3 Europa League games.
Team news and Napoli have an extensive injury list including Andrea Petagna, Hirving Lozano, David Ospina, Diego Demme, Elseid Hysaj, Konstantinos Manolas, and Dries Mertens.
Granada travel without plenty of their own players, including Yangel Herrera, Alberto Soro, Quini, Roberto Soldado, Luis Javier Suárez, Luis Milla, and Neyder Lozano.
Given the recent results of both teams in the Europa League we expect to see under 2.5 goals scored in this game. It is going to be a difficult job for Napoli to overturn the 2-0 deficit and a low scoring draw could be the outcome of this match.
