Napoli vs Frankfurt Preview & Prediction

Match preview

Eintracht Frankfurt and Napoli square off in a crucial match on Wednesday at the Stadio San Paolo as the UEFA Champions League resumes play with a new slate of games this week.

The Scudetto favourites are in control of their last-16 match after a 2-0 victory in Germany, but their opponents can take motivation from their triumph in the previous season’s Europa League.

Napoli are currently at the top of the Serie A standings and have been in fantastic form so far this season. In their most recent match, the hosts easily overcame Atalanta 2-0 and will want to repeat that performance this week.

On the other side, Eintracht Frankfurt has struggled so far this season and is currently ranked sixth in the Bundesliga rankings. After last week’s 1-1 draw with VfB Stuttgart, the visiting team will try to elevate their game this time around.
