After the defeat of Man City in the Manchester match, Napoli managed to hold three fights. On the same weekend, the "parthenopes" dispersed peacefully with their main pursuer at the time - Inter. Maurizio Sarri could indignantly indignant over the super-tactical tactics of the Milanese, but it seems that only this can not be missed from the current Napoli. In the next two rounds, the Neapolitans consistently sent 3 goals each - Genoa and Sassuolo. As a result - to a duel against the City, they again come in the rank of the leader of the Serie A.

In Manchester City, the results are also very similar: one match ended in a draw 0-0 (in the League Cup against Wolverhampton, the "townspeople" went on in the penalty shootout series) and twice again Guardiola's team scored three goals - Burnley and West Bromwich. And again, like Napoli - leadership in his championship.

The city needs to get only a draw to guarantee itself participation in the playoffs of the Champions League, but not that specialist is working with the team today to play a draw. You can safely expect that the "blue moon" will attack, well, Napoli will try to take advantage of this in counterattacks. Fortunately, the defense of the City is far from sinless.

The trainers say:.

Maurizio Sarri, Napoli: "In the first 20 minutes of the match in Manchester we were simply crushed. This time it will not happen again. Manchester City used to go on a break with an advantage in the account and then play for fun. Let's see how the rival will act if he does not achieve this advantage. I will say at once: we will not compete with Manchester City in open football, but will try to play super-reliable on the defensive. If we manage not to lose - it will be good. If we win - then this can be a decisive moment for us in the current Champions League, because in that case the fate of the second place will be decided in our fight against Shakhtar ".

Josep Guardiola, Man City: "Manchester City, Napoli and Shakhtar are very similar, these are three very strong teams. I do not want to show disrespect to Feyenoord, but I believe that the other three teams are at more or less the same level ".

Match Napoli - Manchester City will be held on Wednesday, November 1. The beginning of the match at 21:45. Live broadcast on the channel Football 1.
