IT could be a long night for Rangers in Naples tonight as they look for their first win in the Champions League at the side who are currently top of Serie A.
The Gers have had a dismal campaign so far, four defeats, 16 goals conceded and just a solitary goal scored. And things don’t get any easier tonight in Italy where they’ll be without any away fans.
On the positive side for Rangers, Napoli have already qualifed from Group A and with their eye firmly set on a first Scudetto since Maradona was in his pomp, they’d be forgiven for fielding some fringe players tonight. But the Blues were booed off the pitch at Ibrox on Saturday and all is not well in Giovanni’s van Bronckhorst’s world at the moment.
With some fans already calling for him to go the Dutchman could do without a heavy defeat in Naples this evening. In which case he could seek to limit the damage and set up defensively to try to nick something on the break. It’s a surprise to see Rangers only 11/1 to win given the contrasting fortunes of both sides at the moment.
Rangers have taken some heavy beatings so far, losing three or more in three of four games so far. They also conceded four away to Celtic earlier in the season so are vulnerable at the back. It’s 10/11 for Napoli to score three or more at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Also in Group A it’s last chance saloon for Ajax in Amsterdam tonight. The Dutch champions’ only win came on the opening day against Rangers, which means qualification for the last 16 is largely out of their own hands.
Firstly they need to beat Liverpool tonight, then they need to win at Ibrox and hope that the Reds end their campaign with a defeat at home to Napoli. The insurance policy is that Europa League is almost guaranteed.
There’ll be plenty of punters keen to snap up the 5/2 on the home side tonight, largely due to Jurgen Klopp’s side’s indifferent form. The Reds season peaked with a 1-0 win over Manchester City but that was followed by defeat to promoted Nottingham Forest at the weekend. They’re so unpredictable at the moment that you have to give Ajax some consideration tonight.
Yes, Napoli thumped them 6-1 but they held their own at Anfield until an 89th minute Matip winner. If you’d rather have the draw on your side take Ajax in the Draw No Bet Market at 13/8
