Champions League
2011-10-18 - Napoli vs Bayern Munich
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Napoli goes into this match looking to put a halt to Bayern Munich's 1005 start to the group. But with Bayern having won 11 of their last 12 games without conceding a goal and looking for a third straight win, Napoli President Aurelio DFe Laurentiis knows his side faces a daunting task ahead of their clash.
It does not help by the fact that Napoli go into the encounter looking to bounce back from Saturday's surprising 2-1 home loss to Parma that saw them drop to fifth in Serie A. De Laurentiis is well aware that Bayern are overwhelming favourites to claim maximum points in Naples, but he is confident his side can stop them from getting maximum points.
Bayern Munich are showing Napoli enough respect with defender Holger Badstuber acknowledging that his side's excellent record this season is going to be under serious threat on Italian soil.
Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has not conceded a goal in a club record 18 hours and 29 minutes and Badstuber insists he and his fellow defenders will do all they can to keep that record intact. Astonishing, Including their qualifying matches with Zurich, Bayern have won all four games they have played in Europe this season!
Meanwhile, Napoli, coached by Walter Mazzarri, have shown good form in Europe too. They trail Bayern by two points after a 1-1 draw at Manchester City and a 2-0 win over Villarreal.
Team News :
Mazzarri is expected to field the same line-up that lost to Parma with Marek Hamsik,Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi leading Napoli's attack.
Bayern boss Jupp Heynckes is still without the injured Arjen Robben and Breno, but has taken the rest of his squad to Naples.
Predictions :
Take Bayern Munich to win here.
Cheers and good luck,
