Napoli possible 11:
Ospina, Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Koulibaly, Rui, Anguissa, Ruiz, Lozano, Zielinski, Insigne and Mertens
Prediction: Spartak 1-2 Napoli
Spartak are still in with a chance to seal qualification but need to win this match as they are bottom placed; 2 points away from a top 2 place.
Napoli lost their weekend-match to Inter and which brought their winning run to a halt in the league and would be keen to return to winning ways.
The Italian side are in a better space in terms of qualification and form. We expect them to win this one.
Players to watch out for: Promes, Sobolev, Mertens and Zielinski.
