Napoli vs Real Madrid: Team News, Prediction And Possible Lineups

Napoli vs Real Madrid: Both teams will enter the contest off the back of a thumping 4-0 and 3-0 respectively in a bid to take all three points.

Team Update

Napoli is currently grappling with the absence of three primary squad members due to injuries: Juan Jesus, Amir Rrahmani, and Pierluigi Gollini.

Losing both Jesus and Rrahmani is a significant blow, but they faced no new injuries following their triumphant league game against Lecce last Saturday.

Turning to Real Madrid, they are without Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, and Arda Guler.

Moreover, David Alaba is also sidelined.

After sustaining a groin injury in the match against Las Palmas, Alaba missed the game against Girona and hasn’t recuperated in time for this upcoming match.

Hence, Nacho is likely to fill in at the center.

Prediction:

This matchup is shaping up to be an intriguing one, with a neck-and-neck battle anticipated on Tuesday night.

Arguments can be made for both sides clinching a win.

However, with both managers keen on preventing a loss, the game might turn out to be on the conservative side.

Our prediction leans towards a drawn match in Naples.

We say: Napoli 1-1 Real Madrid
