Preview
Napoli are struggling at the bottom of Group C with just 1 point from their 2 matches played.
They lost 2-3 at home against Spartak on MD 2 and are desperate to turn things around in the Europa League.
Elmas and Osimhen’s strikes weren’t enough as Promes scored twice for the visitors while Ignatov also found the back of the net.
The Italian side have been brilliant in their domestic campaign but yet to kick start their Europa League journey.
On the other hand, Legia beat Leicester 1-0 to make it successive wins in the Europa League.
Emreli’s first half effort made the difference as Legia made it 2 wins from 2 matches in the UEL.
However, the Polish side eye a return to winning ways after losing two of their last three matches.

Prediction: Napoli 2-1 Legia Warszawa
We expect Napoli to translate their domestic form into the continental event and get back into the qualification race.
Napoli has been beyond brilliant in the Serie A but not in the Europa League. Hence, the perfect match is not too far from the Serie A leaders.
Legia is on top of the table and keen to continue their good form and will provide a stern test to the hosts.
But we see the hosts succeeding in this affair.
Players to watch out for: Insigne, Osimhen, Emreli and Martins.
