Napoli vs Barcelona preview
Amongst a sea of ties that don’t ignite the imagination, this last-16 bout sees the champions of Italy and Spain face off.
Last season saw both teams emerge victorious domestically in emphatic fashion. But this season it’s a completely different story.
Napoli binned interim boss Walter Mazzarri after needing a late goal to nick a draw against Genoa at the weekend, with the current champs flailing in NINTH spot in Serie A – a whopping 27 points off leaders Inter.
They’ve only registered one win in their last five games and will now be managed by Slovakia boss Francesco Calzona – their third boss of the season.
Barca sit third in La Liga and eight points adrift of Real Madrid at this stage, so perhaps can put more energy into this competition.
They are at least unbeaten in their last four games and have progressed twice against the Italian side in this competition in the last four years.

Napoli vs Barcelona betting tips
Napoli to score over 1.5 goals at 23/20 with Ladbrokes – CLAIM HERE
They’re not in the best form at the minute but maybe this competition can kick them into life.
The league is beyond them and even reaching European football will be a tall order.
Have scored at least twice in three of last five games, with Barca conceding ten goals in their last five games.
Robert Lewandowski to score anytime at 7/5 with Paddy Power – CLAIM HERE
Clearly still got it even in his twilight years and he’s good value to make his mark on this tie.
Four goals in his last three games.
Napoli win and BTTS at 10/3 with Paddy Power – CLAIM HERE
Controversial take but all eggs are in the European basket for Napoli and they could take a lead to the Camp Nou.
But they have conceded in four of their last five home games.
New manager bounce could come into play and a slender lead to take to Spain is the play.
