Real Madrid is demonstrating impressive performance. In the current season, the “Galacticos” have suffered only one defeat. Their nemesis was Madrid’s “Atletico” (1-3), but this happened more than two months ago. Since then, the “Los Blancos” have only dropped points twice, despite having many injured players. Carlo Ancelotti skillfully organizes the game for each match. Currently, Madrid is on a three-match winning streak with a total score of 11-1. They lead not only in the Champions League group but also in La Liga. The “Whites” have already guaranteed their place in the playoff round, and few doubt that the team will remain at the top of the group. Vinicius, Camavinga, Guler, Courtois, Militao, and Tchouameni will not take the field in this match. Despite this, bookmakers have confidence in the Spanish club’s successful performance and consider them the clear favorite.
After a well-performed last season, Napoli is playing less effectively. Nevertheless, it would be unfair to call Napoli’s game weak, considering the change of the head coach. Walter Mazzarri took over from Rudy Garcia to lead the reigning Italian champions. On the last weekend, there was an away victory in Serie A against “Atalanta” (2-1), which allowed them to maintain their position in the top four. Let’s see if they can perform well in Spain against the group leader in the Champions League. The guests have minor personnel problems, but they are not serious. In this match, Rui, Olivera, and Lindstrom will not be able to help the club. The coaching staff does not seem to be worried about this since the team has enough players capable of replacing the absent players.
