Why Napoli is a good bet versus Barcelona

Napoli has turned it on in recent games. The Serie A team not only drew against Barcelona in the first leg, but it also drew against Cagliari and Torino.

The Napoleons blasted Sassuolo 6-1 and then, in an important league game, beat rival Juventus 2-1. Right now, Napoli is playing excellent soccer. Also, Barcelona hasn’t been consistent much this season. So Lewandowski and his mates are vulnerable.
