Napoli and Besiktas face each other for the 3rd Match of the Champions League with the Italians wanting to overcome the shock of the two defeats in the Championship and their possible qualification early in the next round and on the other hand the Turks want to make the "surprise" and get the first 3 points away from home.
Napoli
The absence of striker Milik seems to be more than important. The undefeated at home stopped in the defeat against Roma on Saturday where an error in the last minutes of the first half brought it back to the score. In the replay early he was 2-0 behind. He reacted and reduced to 58 but at 85 after a counterattack he could not avoid defeat so the defeat came 3-1.
In the press conference for the game with Besiktas, Sari stated: We have not lost our self-confidence, we have to look at our mistakes " regarding the absence of striker Milik said "Milik's absence is important but we have to look ahead I have Gambiantini who has to get used not to me but to the team
In the away games Milik is an important striker, There is no other significant absence
Besiktas
Besiktas continues its victories silently lately away from home against Kayserispor. Victories can be difficult, but for the time being it is not reminiscent of last year's Besiktas who played team football and took the victories as a whole, on the contrary for the time being he gets the points thanks to the individual efforts of his players. Against Rizespor except with a goal by Adriano in the delays and finally against Kayserispor with a goal by Sismanoglou. A characteristic is that the striker who came as a replacement for Gomez has not scored and so far he has not scored but has missed several classic opportunities.
For the game, coach Senol Gunes stated: We can play against the strongest team in the group but we are not afraid. We will definitely chase the 3 points but the score will not be bad. In the games we drew we were not inferior. Abubakar has not scored and I expect him to score tomorrow (tonight).
Special game for Inler who is on loan from Napoli and as he stated he is returning home but at the moment he is a Besiktas player.
The statistics are not in favor of Besiktas as they have 2 draws and 9 defeats against the Italian teams. Away against Italian teams has 1 draw (with Lazio in 2003) and 5 defeats.
In the match, the only absence is that of midfielder Ozjakup.
Conclusion: Napoli is going through a mini competitive crisis from the other, Besiktas Besiktas is progressing even with difficulties with victories and in Europe, although it may be back in the score, it does not give up. I believe that even if he loses, he will not lose by far. We will go with the double but with +1.5 Asian handicap
