A lucrative Champions League berth is on the line tonight as impressive Italian side Napoli host Spain’s Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of their Champions League play-off at the San Paulo.
Rafael Benitez’s highly fancied side finished third in Serie A last season and with their speed and lethal counter-attacking ability will be looking to blow the visitors off the park. Bilbao will undoubtedly look to “park the bus” in front of goal to prevent Napoli from scoring and perhaps even sneak a goal on the break themselves but truth be told it’s hard to see anything but a Napoli win here.
