Napoli are flying high in Serie A but struggling in Europe. They will have the chance to fight for their first three points when they welcome Legia Warsaw on Match Day 3 in Group C of the Europa League. Going into this game, the Italians are third in the group with one point while Legia Warsaw have six points, at the top of the group. Napoli’s 1-0 win over Torino in their last game, was their third clean sheet in five matches, and after failing to keep one in their opening two Europa League games, they will be targeting that. In their 10 games this season, Napoli have scored in all, and in nine of them two or more goals. Victor Osimhen has been instrumental for the team so far, with eight goals in the 10 matches. Going to this game, the Nigerian international has scored five in five matches and in the two Europa League games, he has three. Napoli led in their last game against Spartak Moscow, but lost 3-2, in a game that also saw Mario Rui sent off in the first half. They struggled with 10 men and will hope it gets better this time. They managed to beat Legia Warsaw home and away in their 2015 meeting and will hope for a repeat.

Legia Warsaw leads in this group but go to this game on a very weak footing, having lost three of their last four matches. They have just one clean sheet in their last five matches and in the last 10 matches, they have five wins but only two clean sheets. In the Europa League they have a good run – three straight wins and are unbeaten in four. In the last 10 Europa League matches, Legia Warsaw have lost just two but they have just two wins in their last 10 away matches in the competition. Lirim Kastirati scored a last-minute winner in their last away game in this competition and will be eyeing another such break in Italy. They will also be hoping Mahir Emreli’s form in Europa League lifts the team; the striker has four goals in the last four Europa League matches.
