FC Zurich will host Napoli in the first leg of the Europa League 32nd round. Zurich will try to capitalize on the full support of the public Letzigrund Stadium to keep up with Napoli.

Zurich looks at this match with pretty good confidence. This was inseparable from the 3-1 victory over Grasshopper which they won in their last match to stage the Swiss Super League last weekend. Despite having a pretty good capital, but this fight is certain to still not be easy for Zurich considering the opponents they will face are giants from Italy, Napoli.

Napoli are clearly favorites in this match because of the difference in greater quality and we cannot expect a pleasant night for the hosts in this match. Even so, Napoli are also not without a gap, especially about their performance being declining lately, where Carlo Ancelotti’s troops are only able to win 2 wins and have suffered 1 defeat in their last 5 matches in all competitions.

Zurich’s opportunity to qualify for the next round is no bigger than Napoli. However, for this first leg Zurich can still expect a lot considering the game will be played in their home. Moreover, if Ancelotti chooses to lose their second tier team as in most matches in the group phase then the match will be more balanced.

Our Prediction: Over 2.5

Odds: 1.97
