Beaten at Valencia (2-1), miraculous in Villarreal (2-3) and Las Palmas (3-3), Zidane’s men certainly took advantage of their appointment at Eibar this weekend (1-4) for Reassured, but presented themselves in Italy with a more frightening defense than ever. With his Mertens-Callejon-Insigne-Hamsik quartet, Naples will have a shot to play. After a two-point gap in Roma’s second-place Serie A race, the Napoli were ready to take the lead in the second half, . If he remains in a position of strength to reach the quarter-finals, the Real is anything but immune to a huge Italian surge. A great match is coming.

Napoli Real Madrid – Our prediction
The Real has found Pepe to support Sergio Ramos but still does not breathe the serenity defensively. At the San Paolo where Naples has been playing three goals per game since the start of the season, the Merengues know they will suffer. On the other hand, we can count on the “BBC” to make at least once shake Italian nets. This game feels the powder: more than 2.5 goals!
Prediction: Over 2,5 goals
Odds: 1.50
