Champions League | Barcelona VS Napoli; Wednesday, 13 March at 04:00 GMT +8

Barcelona secured two LaLiga victories, beating Mallorca and Getafe without conceding a goal, while Athletic Bilbao remained goalless. They have eliminated Napoli twice in three years.

Napoli’s Serie A performance, following a leg 1 against Barcelona, leaves them in 7th place, with a challenging position to secure a Champions League spot next season.

This rematch between Barcelona and Napoli is expected to be cautious due to their previous 1-1 record. Barcelona has won three out of five direct duels, while Napoli has conceded at least one goal in four Serie A matches. Expect 0-1 goals at halftime and no more than two goals at the end.

Balde is recovering from a muscle injury, Gavi is recovering from a knee injury, De Jong has ankle problems, and Alonso and Torres are questionable due to minor injuries.

Predicted lineups:

Barcelona

Goalkeeper: M. ter Stegen
Defenders: Joao Cancelo, Pau Cubarsi, Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde
Midfielders: Ilkay Gundongan, Andreas Christensen, Sergi Roberto
Forwards: Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Vitor Roque
