Barcelona entertain Napoli at the Nou Camp in this round of 32 match in the Europa League . Barcelona find themselves in the unfamiliar Europa League for the first time since the 2003/04 season. They have had a recent resurgence of form and are unbeaten in their last eight league matches. They have climbed into the top four of the league for the first time this season but had a disappointing 2-2 draw with Espanyol in their last match. They have only won three of their last eight home matches across all competitions. There has only been one previous meeting between these sides in major European competition and Barcelona won that round of 16 tie in the 2019/20 season. Barcelona have lost three of their of last five home matches in European competition. This is the same number of losses they suffered in the previous 74 matches.

Napoli are on a great run of results and are unbeaten in their last four matches which includes a 1-1 in their last match against Serie A champions Inter Milan. They are now in third place in the league just two points behind leaders AC Milan. They qualified for the knockout stages by finishing second in their group. Napoli ended with the same number of points as the group leaders Spartak Moscow but the Russian side had the better goal difference. They have lost their last four away matches in European knockout matches and one of those losses was against Barcelona when they lost 3-1. They will be looking to Victor Osimhen for goals as he has the best strike for minutes per goal in the competition.
