Napoli could heap more misery on mis-firing Rangers on Wednesday night.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side, off the pace in the Scottish Premiership, were beaten 3-0 by the Serie A side last month at Ibrox and have lost all four games in the group stage so far.
A home win to nil at 1/1 is our opening Napoli vs Rangers prediction.
Napoli Odds
Napoli are one of the form teams in Europe right now.
Luciano Spalletti’s side are three points clear at the top of Serie A and have a 100 per cent record in Group A.
They are unbeaten this term and are currently on an 11-match winning streak, which included domestic victories at Lazio, AC Milan and Roma plus European thrashings of Liverpool, Rangers and Ajax twice.
Napoli have won their last five on home soil, netting 15 times, and scored at least three in five of their matches at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium this campaign.
The hosts to win 4-0, 5-0 or 6-0 is 6/1 in the Napoli vs Rangers odds.
Rangers Odds
Rangers boss Van Bronckhorst is under intense pressure after his side’s recent results.
They have fallen four points behind leaders Celtic, who hammered them 4-0 last month, in the league following Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to Livingston, which was secured by a late John Lundstram equaliser.
They have come up short in Europe too, albeit against three heavyweight sides.
Rangers have conceded 16 goals in the four outings, scoring only once, and were thrashed 7-1 by Liverpool in front of their own fans in their last outing.
Van Bronckhorst said: “It is a big game against really good opponents, at the moment maybe one of the best teams in Europe.
“They are leaders in Serie A, they are strong but it is also a big opportunity for us to overturn (Saturday’s performance) in that game on Wednesday because we need to get something out of the game to have the slight chance to go further in Europe (Europa League).
“It is going to be difficult but first of all my focus is to pick the right team and start in the right manner and make sure we do everything we can to get a good result.”
Napoli have scored early in their two home Champions League matches against Liverpool and Ajax.
The hosts to score more in the first five minutes at 31/4 is our final Napoli vs Rangers prediction.
