Barcelona vs Napoli prediction
Neither team is expected to threaten to win this trophy, so a run to the quarter-finals would be more or less job done for both.
Barcelona’s home advantage could prove key but a number of damaging injuries open the door to Napoli, who perhaps just lack the killer edge to upset the local fans.
Barcelona to win, 1-0.
