Barcelona vs Napoli preview
Barcelona are 3rd in the league. They’re pretty unstable. Recently, they’ve failed to beat Athletic Bilbao (0:0) in an away game and even Granada (3:3) in a home match. They don’t seem to be able to reach Real Madrid, who are currently 8 points ahead of the Italian side.
Napoli have had a tough season. In Italy, they’re currently 7th and this side is unlikely to qualify for the next Champions League season via Serie A. However, Napoli have won 2 out of the last 5 domestic games, with the other three ending in draws.

Barcelona vs Napoli prediction
Both teams have something to work on. They’re far from their best form we could see a couple of seasons ago. The defensive lines commit quite many mistakes, which means that we’re likely to see goals.
I’m not sure about who’s going to win the game. The point is that both sides are pretty unpredictable. However, I guess that both of them will be able to score.
