It was expected that this might be an uncertain duel in the sixteenth finals of Europa League, since both teams played the Champions League before this competition and are coming from the best European leagues. However, the first match revealed that Napoli was not too interested in this competition and it was best seen by the team that played and the visit on the stadium. Leipzig has used it all and celebrated with 3-1, so practically everything was resolved, although Napoli should not be written off. In the meantime, they made another championship triumph, unlike Leipzig which was defeated in Bundesliga.

RB Leipzig

Leipzig made a good job in the first round and they have maximally used the fact that the opponent did not play in the strongest composition, though Leipzig was the first to win the match and only then they started playing better. That win should have been a big boost for the rest of the championship, where they are struggling to play the Champions League again, but even a day more of rest did not help them much, considering that they played in Frankfurt on Monday.

The victory in Naples was their third in a row and it was the fourth consecutive match in which they were not defeated, but it was all interrupted against Eintracht. They managed to take the lead on this unpleasant encounter at an early stage, but they also received two goals so quickly and lost. Ti.Werner and Y.Poulsen were left on the bench, and Kampla and Brume were not in the team, who will now play, just like Ti.Werner and Forsberg.

Probable lineups RB Leipzig: Gulacsi – Laimer, Orban, Upamecano, Klostermann – Keita, Kampl – Sabitzer, Forsberg, Bruma – Ti.Werner

SSC Napoli

Napoli has decided to knowingly give priority to the championship, where they are still the leaders with minimal advantage over the current champion Juventus and they want to preserve this advantage until the end and after many years of winning the title again. They are aware of the difficulty of the task and Europa League is taking away their strength away and they have sent the combined composition on the field in the first match that even took the lead at the start of the second half, but later they dropped in form and lost with a score that leaves them small odds in this rematch.

On Sunday, they have performed with their strongest team against SPAL, but despite this, their game was not very good at the beginning, and surprisingly the result remained 1-0 till the end. However, important points were recorded and the first place is still theirs, so that the game is quickly forgotten. And since they have played in a combined team on their field against Leipzig, then it is logical that there may be even more changes now, or they will possibly lay with the same team as in the first match, but we do not  expect the strongest.

Probable lineups SSC Napoli: Reina – Maggio, Tonelli, Raul Albiol, Rui – Diawara, Rog, Hamsik – Mertens, Ounas, Zielinski

Verdict:

Even though Leipzig does not need a victory in this match, the first match has shown Napoli's indifference for this competition and it is difficult to expect them to change something now as guests, so we expect a new triumph of the German vice-champion.
