BAR vs NAP Dream11 Prediction
FC Barcelona and Napoli will be hitting it off at the Camp Nou for the second-leg in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. The earlier contest ended on level terms with a 1-1 score line and it’s even stevens in spite of Napoli having the advantage of the one away goal. Both Barcelona and Napoli weren’t able to meet their domestic objectives in Spain and Italy this season respectively, which is why the two clubs will give it their all in Europe. Here is the Dream11 Prediction for the much anticipated fixture later tonight.
Date- Sunday, 9 August Kick-Off- 12:30 AM (IST) Venue- Camp Nou
