Napoli-Ajax is a match for Week 4 of the Champions League: live TV, streaming, predictions, line-ups
NAPOLI v AJAX | Wednesday 6.45pm
Never had anyone scored six goals against Ajax in the history of the Champions League. Never had anyone managed to win by a scoreline at home to the Lancers. Statistics are made to be updated, and we have the distinct feeling that Spalletti’s gang’s feat in Holland is destined to go unbeaten for a long time. Napoli destroyed Ajax with no problem, putting the exclamation mark on qualification for the Champions League round of 16. Exaggerated the Azzurri who, after having gone under, overturned the situation already in the first half and then, in the second half, enjoyed themselves. A crazy, amazing match. With Spalletti responsible for everything.
Now, to think that we can repeat the same result would be foolish. But to think that this Napoli side, first in the standings, could lose points right now is equally foolish. The Tuscan coach’s troop is flying, spinning at full speed, showing no signs of letting up and, above all, having fun. This is essential if they are to stay on top. This will also be the case in the return match, on Wednesday evening at the Maradona.

The Prediction
Napoli want to close the scoreline. They know they have the quality to do it, they know they have what it takes to win the fourth game in their group and then go on to finish in first place. Ajax do not frighten a team that is flying in the standings and that at the moment does not seem to be showing any signs of relenting. A match with a total of at least three goals, with an Azzurri victory widely predicted.
