THE KEY STATS
THE PREDICTION
For Napoli, the equation is simple. Avoid defeat and they will go through to the Champions League round of 16, despite a campaign that has seen them win just two of their five group games so far. They come into this match on the back of a three-game losing streak in all competitions, which underlines the opportunity Sporting Braga have to cause an upset. Key for the visitors will be to start well and quieten the home crowd at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. No doubt Braga are more than capable of finding the net at least once in Naples, as they have done in four of their five group stage fixtures so far, but their requirement to win may see them leaves holes at the other end of the pitch for Napoli to exploit, so backing both teams to score may prove the smart play here.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
