Napoli hosts last place Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League B, on Wednesday November 23. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Napoli won the first meeting between these two teams in Ukraine and are looking to sweep the series against the Ukrainian champions, thus taking a decisive step to qualify for the next phase of the Champions League. Napoli can clinch one of the top two qualifying places before the last match day in Group B with a win and a Benfica win.
Even though they are last in the group with only one point, Dynamo has played relatively well, hanging close in all their matches. They earned an away tie to Besiktas in Istanbul and lost by a minimum margin away to Sporting Lisbon, missing a last minute penalty shot with a chance for another tie.
With the likes of Lorenzo Insigne and Juan Maria Callejon in their lineup, Napoli should have enough firepower to solve the Dynamo back line and general defensive approach. The Italians have conceded five goals in their previous two home games, so don’t be surprised to see an interesting game with lots of goals. Dynamo really is up against it, as their chances for even a third place finish are minimal at best.
Playing in front of an intimidating crowd at the San Paolo Stadium, look for the home side to get all the points in play and take a decisive step for qualification into the playoff round.
