Carlo Ancelotti’s charges were held to a goalless draw against Crvena Zvezda in Belgrade in their opening Group C game, whilst Jurgen Klopp’s men kicked off their campaign with a thrilling 3-2 win against Paris Saint-Germain.
Latest odds
Napoli were beaten 3-1 by Juventus in Turin on Saturday evening, but they have won seven of their last eight competitive matches on home turf and are 5/2 (3.50) with bet365 to take all three points.
The same firm offer 23/20 (2.15) that Liverpool continue their perfect start to their Champions League campaign with victory on Italian soil, while the 13/5 (3.60) quote offered up by bet365 for the match to end all square could represent good value.
Team news
Napoli have no fresh injury concerns. Mario Rui was sent off against Juventus but the Portuguese defender is expected to retain his place in Ancelotti’s starting line-up for this one.
Dejan Lovren could come back into the heart of the defence, while Daniel Sturridge is pushing for a starting spot after his sensational strike against Chelsea. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adam Lallana remain out for the Reds.
Goals galore?
Liverpool’s last five Champions League matches away from home have produced no fewer than 27 goals.
As such, the 13/20 (1.65) quote from bet365 for at least three goals to be scored appears to be a solid selection.
Napoli have, themselves, scored three goals on three separate occasions so far this season and bet365 go 11/8 (2.38) that the hosts score more than one goal in this game.
Prediction
Both sides possess plenty of firepower and there is plenty of potential for an explosive encounter when these teams lock horns.
The 6/4 (2.50) quote, then, from bet365 for more than three goals to be scored could provide punters with a path to profit on Wednesday night.
