Red Bull have it all to do if they want to reach the last eight of the Europa League. They traveled to Italy last week and had a disastrous 3-0 loss at Napoli. The Italians went 2-0 up inside 18 minutes and were gifted a third when Onguene scored an own goal in the second-half. They could have done with an away goal in Italy and know they need to score three in 90 minutes just to have any chance of winning the tie. One goal for Napoli will take their goal target up to five. They aren't in the best of form at present though with only one win in their last four games. Red Bull do have an incredible home record though with no losses in a competitive game since 2016.They are undefeated in their last 13 home Europa League games with nine clean sheets.

Napoli began the season in the Champions League but finished third in their group behind PSG and Liverpool. It was their away results that led to their elimination and in the Champions Leagu they have no wins in their last six away games losing four of them. Napoli were transferred into the Europa League and beat FC Zurich 5-1 on aggregate, winning both legs. Current away form isn't great with only two wins in their last seven games and they were held to a draw at Sassuolo at the weekend. Go for Red Bull on the double chance to either win or draw this match, though qualifcation for the quarter-finals looks unlikely.
