Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Napoli vs Chelsea

Napoli

Antonio Conte's side have struggled in the European competition so far, but they still have a chance to turn things around and reach the knockout stages in the final round of the Champions League. Heading into their final match, Napoli sits in 25th place in the Champions League standings, which puts them out of contention. However, a victory against Chelsea will likely help them climb into the top 24. The Napoli club has been inconsistent this season, but they must show their best in their next match. The home team will also benefit from the support of their home fans. Scott McTominay is Napoli's top scorer in the Champions League this season, with four goals and one assist.

Chelsea

The Londoners have long since secured a spot in the Champions League knockout stages, but in the final round they'll be trying to stay in the top eight of the table, a position that would allow them to advance directly to the round of 16. Going into the final match, the Blues are sitting in eighth place, and maintaining that position will be quite a challenge given the away status of their next match and the status of their opponents. In their last match, Chelsea narrowly beat lowly Pafos, and it's clearly not easy for a team to compete successfully in multiple competitions simultaneously. On the other hand, Liam Rosenior's men need nothing more than a win in their next encounter, meaning they'll certainly be looking for scoring opportunities.
