Betting suggestion:

This duel marks the meeting between two good clubs of European football, but still has much difference between them. While Real Madrid is respected as one of the best teams in the world, having high-level names in their squad, Napoli has emerged this season of the Italian Championship, but is still far from having the tradition and the weight that the Spaniards have on continental level. Napoli needs to seek the result to reverse the advantage of their rival, which will open space for the attack of Real Madrid. As both teams have great offensive power, it is a good bet to opt for a game with more goals than usual, as in the first leg.

Preview
Napoli and Real Madrid meet at Stadio San Paolo, in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Champions League (8th Finals). Real Madrid got a home win by (3‑1) in the previous 1st leg match.

Analysis Napoli

Despite the 2 goals disadvantage from the 1st leg match, the home team has the advantage of having scored 1 goal in the away first leg match. In their last match, for the Serie A, they got an away win against Roma by (1‑2). In the last 10 home matches Napoli has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 6 of the last 7 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 25 of the last 27 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 18 out of 27 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have been able to score first and have done so in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 7 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 9 of them.

Napoli is back in action for the UEFA Champions League, trying to repeat the same good performance they have been showing in the Italian League to reverse the advantage that Real Madrid built in the first leg. The club's last appearance in this continental tournament came in the 2014/2015 season, where they were eliminated in the playoffs, failing to reach the group stage. One of their most recent best appearances was in the 2011/2012 season when they reached the eighth of end, being eliminated by Chelsea. Playing at home, the team has lost only one of the last twenty-six games played, which shows its strength as host. For this confrontation, the coach should keep the team at 4-3-3.

Confirmed Lineup: Pepe Reina, Elseid Hysaj, Faouzi Ghoulam, Albiol, Kalidou Koulibaly, Amadou Diawara, Allan, Marek Hamšík, Dries Mertens, José Callejón, Lorenzo Insigne.
Coach: W. Mazzarri.

Analysis Real Madrid

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match with an advantage of 2 goals, but has suffered 1 goal at home in the 1st leg. In their last match, for the Primera División, they got an away win against Eibar by (1‑4). In the last 10 away matches Real Madrid has won 5, tied 3 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 7 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 25 of the last 28 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 20 out of 28 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but have turned the score around in 2. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 9 of their 25 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Real Madrid enter the field for their eighth UEFA Champions League game only needing to manage the advantage they got in the first match, which makes the team quieter. The Spanish club is the biggest winner of this continental tournament, totaling eleven titles. The last time Real Madrid lifted the cup was last season, 2016/2017, when they beat Atletico Madrid's compatriots on penalties. Before that, their last title had occurred in the season of 2013/2014, when again they defeated Atletico Madrid. For that match, the coach should keep the team in the 4-3-3, and probably will have Cristiano Ronaldo, who recovers from a minor injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Keylor Navas, Carvajal, Marcelo, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Luka Modrić, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Coach: C. Ancelotti.
