Thursday, April 18, 2019, the match between Napoli vs Arsenal will be disputed. The match counts for the Europa League quarter-finals and is hosted by Stadio San Paolo in Naples, Italy. It is the return match between the two, in the first hand the English team won by 2-0.
Napoli tries to overturn the outcome of the tour
In Europe, Napoli started in the Champions League, where he took third place in a very strong group, alongside PSG and Liverpool. In the Europa League he passed FC Zurich and Salzburg. Both home meetings were won at zero and at least two goals scored each time. It is the result that would help send this dispute to extensions. In Serie A, Napoli is second and probably this is the position we will find at the end of the season. On Sunday evening, he played an away match in Verona, with relegated Chievo, winning 3-1. It is worth noting that for the most part the players with only three exceptions were used, Maksimovic, Mario Rui and Allan. Arkadiusz Milik is the team’s top scorer in the Europa League with 2 goals scored. The Polish was not in London but only came in the 66th minute, but we certainly will see it in the basic formula in this return meeting.
- Napoli (4-4-2): Meret – Hysaj, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Mario Rui – Callejon, Allan, Ruiz, Zielinski – Milik, Mertens
- Coach: Carlo Ancelotti
- Injuries: Albiol, Diawara
Arsenal targets the trophy for a place in the Champions League
Arsenal aims to qualify in the Champions League and has two possibilities to achieve it. First of all, he is present in the top four of the Premier League at the end of the season, and second, winning the Europa League. He is in cards in both competitions. In the Premier League he is in 4th place, but he is in a disputed dispute with Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United for only two places leading to the most important European competition. In the Europa League he took a serious option by winning a 2-0 match against Napoli. Monday night he played the match with Watford, who closed the 32nd round of the Premier League. He won 1-0 by a goal scored by Aubameyang. The team from Napoli used only 5 titles, and two more came along. Most have been rested in the return match of Italy. The girl of Naples has one day less rest. Premier League match programming is announced from the start and no presence of Arsenal in the semifinals of the European competition has been foreseen. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has 4 goals scored in the Europa League and is the main host of the hosts. Grant Xhaka, injured lately, entered the Watford title, which means he is fit for the crucial meeting with Napoli.
- Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Cech – Mustafi, Sokratis, Koscielny, Montreal – Torreira, Xhaka – Mikhitaryan, Ozil, Ramsey – Aubameyang
- Coach: Unai Emery
- Injuries: Bellerin, Holding, Welbeck
Napoli vs Arsenal Picks
The two teams also met in the Champions League groups in the 2013-2014 edition, when Arsenal won the first match, just like 2-0, and in turn Napoli won the victory at the same score. And now we have the possibility of a similar run, the Italian team being the favorite to win this meeting. Arsenal lost to BATE Borisov and Rennes in previous tours.
