Eintracht Frankfurt - Napoli

For the first match of the round of 16 of the Champions League, Eintracht Frankfurt welcomes Napoli to Deutsche Bank Park. The away goal rule does not apply, a replay will follow in Italy.

In an exciting group with interest until the last matchday, Eintracht with rivals Tottenham, Sporting Lisbon and Marseille finished in 2nd place and deservedly qualified for the knockout matches of the tournament.
At the same time, in the German championship, they claim a European ticket for the new season, after 21 matches they are in 6th place with 38 points and minus 2 out of 2 from the top four. On Saturday, they welcomed Werder Bremen and easily won 2-0, scoring one goal in each half.

Napoli's impressive presence in the group, with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss in the last matchday, being indifferent, finished in first place with 15 points, leaving behind Liverpool, Ajax and Rangers.
Even more impressive is its course in the league where it is heading towards winning the cup after 33 years and the era when the huge Diego Maradona moderated as after 23 matches it is in first place with 62 points and plus 15 from the 2nd Inter. In their last match on Friday night, they beat Sassuolo 2-0 away from home with two quick goals scored in the first half.

Eintracht deservedly qualified for the group stage and wants a score tonight that will give them hopes of qualification against one of the most in-form teams in Europe with their hot home as a weapon. Napoli, for its part, has been impressive throughout the year and after the looming conquest of the domestic title, it wants to star in the Champions League as well. Both teams have huge quality in the middle and forward, I expect a match with many phases and big battles in both areas.
