We will bet on the outcome expected by everyone. On Wednesday, on “Red Bull Arena”, we have the match Salzburg vs Napoli, in Group E of the Champions League. Should we expect goals?

Salzburg – moment form, latest results, statistics

Salzburg is, to no one’s surprise, the leader of Austria, with 29 points accumulated in 11 rounds, goal scoring 47-10. In the final stage, he drew, at Sturm Graz, score 1-1. Obviously, the guests have rested a few starters for the Champions League match, but the good part is that Salzburg has competition in the championship. And not only for the neutral spectator is good news, but also for RB Salzburg, who can increase his level of play. It has already been seen in the first two Champions League games, 6-2, at home, with Genk, and 3-4 in Liverpool. A scary offensive that managed to score 64 goals in 15 official matches this season. And the solutions to the attack are multiple. In the championship alone, Salzburg managed to score through 18 different players.

Naples – moment form, latest results, statistics

Napoli had not scored in three of the previous four meetings in all competitions before the duel with Verona, at home. It ended 2-0 for the Neapolitans, and Ancelotti’s students are on the 4th place in Serie A, with 16 points accumulated in 8 rounds, 17-10 goalscoring. Milik managed a “double” against Verona, an important aspect for the morale of the Polish striker. After a major victory with Liverpool, 2-0, Napoli only managed a “white” equal to Genk. Therefore, the Italian team has not yet scored in the current CL edition. However, the following statistics must be taken into consideration – Napoli has not won in the Champions League for 16 games.

Salzburg vs Napoli Picks

If the Neapolitans do not excel outside, Salzburg is invincible at home. The Austrians have not lost more than 19 matches on their own ground in the European Cups. But we should never rely solely on such statistics. Napoli is capable of speculating every mistake, and if taken empty, I think it will be very difficult to keep the gate intact. We all want to bet on goals in this duel. If that is so clear, what is the point of trying to find other variants? In the Europa League last season, Napoli defeated Salzburg after 3-0 at home and 1-3 away.

Our Prediction: Over 2.5
