BAR vs NAP Dream11

BAR vs NAP Dream11: Barcelona enters into this match after preserving a draw against Espanyol in the derby. Barca avoided defeat thanks to Pedri’s equaliser in second-half stoppage time, but Xavi’s team is still erratic and lacks cohesiveness in attack. They will now face a Napoli side that is coming off a 1-1 draw against Inter Milan in a Serie A top-of-the-table showdown over the weekend. Luciano Spalletti’s team struggled in late autumn, but have since improved. The visitors have well-coordinated play patterns that should pose a challenge to a shaky Barca defence. Both teams scoring appears to be a good bet for this game, which should never be a UEFA Europa League knockout match based on club size and repute.
