Liverpool's negative run playing at Napoli

The Reds have a great opportunity in this edition of the UEFA Champions League to put an end to their poor away record against Napoli, as the loss of the Italian club's star striker, coupled with the Reds' highs, could bring the long-awaited triumph that has denied them three times.

Both the Italians and the English have in a short space of time built up a rivalry in Europe's top club competitions, having been placed in the same group on three occasions. The Gli Azzurri during those seasons drew goalless for 2010, reaching their first victory by a score of (1-0) 2018 and a year later they would repeat but now with a (2-0) for 2019, Napoli becoming one of the few tormentors of the German coach, Jurgen Klopp.

The fantastic news that Liverpool gets before the match against Napoli

Liverpool's poor results go a little further than just Napoli, proving over the years and matches that clubs from Italy have always been a headache for the Reds, as of the eleven teams they have faced, Inter Milan is the only one they have dominated with those 4 wins in 6 matches played. From the list, Fiorentina, Genoa, Juventus and Napoli have been the most difficult opponents.

Until a few days ago, the outlook for the English side looked better with the absence of Irving Lozano and Victor Osimhen, but the recovery of the Mexican came at a great time to be a change option in an attacking sector that has Jvicha Kvaratsjelia and Piotr Zieliński as main attackers.

History

One more defeat for Liverpool in Italy does not sound far-fetched given Napoli's high level of play today, with the Reds still having time to get back on track and prevent their poor run of form extending at Anfield, where they have beaten the Gli Azzurri but also drawn.
