Leicester City vs Napoli Match Preview and Team News

Leicester City

Leicester City will open their Europa League campaign with a home game against Italian side Napoli in Group C. The two sides are coming off big matches in their respective leagues and had mixed results. Leicester City were 1-0 losers at home to Manchester City and will be keen to avoid a second straight loss. They’ve lost two in the last five matches already, but they’ve scored in four of their previous five games, only that they’ve scored more than a goal in just one of the five. This is the second time in Leicester’s history that they get to the group stage of this competition, but their numbers in Europa League aren’t the best. Youri Tielemans plays well in the middle of the park, and he does not allow the opponent much action. Kelechi Iheanacho enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems. He is strong, and it is challenging to keep this guy.

Napoli

Napoli, on their part, heads to this game straight from a morale-boosting win over Juventus, and they’ve been scoring well too. In their opening three matches, they’ve managed two goals in each and are currently joint top in Serie A. In competitive action, Napoli is unbeaten in 12 games, and they take to this game a run of four wins in their last seven matches. They have lost just once in those seven matches, but away from home, they haven’t done really well in their recent games, winning just two of six on their travels, and losing three. The Italian side has managed just one clean sheet in the last six away matches in Europa League. Fabian Ruiz shows talent, he has excellent ball control, can play in multiple positions, and every team needs such a player. Lorenzo Insigne is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, he has excellent ball control, and he can be satisfied with his performance.
