Barcelona will welcome Napoli on Tuesday night. With the two sides drawing 1-1 in Naples, everything is to play for in this one.

Barcelona may be sitting eight points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid; however, Xavi’s men have looked strong in the Champions League this season, qualifying for the knockout stages by topping Group H. The hosts have been in fine form recently and are unbeaten across their last eight games in all competitions, with their last outing seeing them beat Mallorca 1-0 at home. 

Napoli have had a tough domestic campaign, currently finding themselves in seventh place in the Serie A; however, the visitors will be hoping to extend their European success by progressing to the quarter-finals. Napoli are unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions, but it is worth noting that Francesco Calzona’s men have won just twice along this run. 

These Barcelona v Napoli stats will provide an insight into what to expect from this meeting. If you plan to place a bet builder on this game, this is the place to find some key tips.

🏆 Match stats: Barcelona to reach the quarter-finals

Barcelona have looked strong at home this season, having lost just one of their last nine home matches. The hosts have impressed at home in the Champions League, winning all of their three home group stage matches. Barcelona have looked strong at both ends in recent weeks. Xavi’s men have scored an average of 2.25 goals per game across their last four home matches, while keeping three clean sheets in the process. Napoli have had difficulties on the road this season, winning just one of their last eight matches on away soil. The hosts have struggled both offensively and defensively along this run, failing to score in five of these matches, while conceding an average of 1.63 goals per game. Xavi’s side looked strong in the first leg, registering twice as many shots as their opponents. With Barcelona’s impressive home record and Napoli’s poor away form, we expect the hosts to progress to the next round, with the bookies offering a price of 1.40 for this selection.

Predictions:

⚽ Barcelona to qualify @ 1.40

🥅 Goals stats: Lewandowski to contribute

As expected, Robert Lewandowski has been influential going forward for Barcelona this season, amassing 23 goal contributions across all competitions thus far. The Polish striker has been in fine form in recent home matches, picking up at least one goal contribution in six of his last eight home appearances. Lewandowski, who netted in the first leg, will be hoping to capitalise on a Napoli defence which has conceded an average of 1.67 goals per away game in the competition thus far. Value of 1.83 is available for Barcelona’s top scorer to either score or assist here.

Predictions:

⚽ Robert Lewandowski to score or assist @ 1.83

🚩 Corners stats: Expect plenty of corners

There have been plenty of corners in Barcelona’s Champions League matches this season, with an average of 7.7 corners being taken per match. This average is even higher at the Camp Nou, with Barcelona’s home matches seeing an average of 9.33 corners per match. Napoli’s European matches have seen an abundance of corners, with an average of 14 corners being taken per match. This average has been slightly lower in Napoli’s away matches, which have seen an average of 11.7 corners being taken per game. The two sides forced a collective 11 corners in the first leg, with Napoli taking seven and Barcelona taking four. The bookies are offering a price of 1.25 for a minimum of eight corners to be taken, and value of 1.50 available for there to be at least nine here.

Predictions:

⚽ Over 7.5 total corners @ 1.25

⚽ Over 8.5 total corners @ 1.50

🛑 Fouls stats: A tough night for Juan Jesus

Napoli have committed their fair share of fouls in the Champions League this season, committing an average of 11 fouls per match so far. One player that has contributed greatly to this is Juan Jesus. The Brazilian defender has committed at least one foul per game in all of his last five appearances in all competitions, committing an average of 2.2 fouls per match along this run. Jesus will have the difficult task of dealing with Robert Lewandowski, who has drawn at least two fouls in all of his last six appearances. Jesus fouled four times in the first leg, and a price of 1.25 is available for the defender to commit a minimum of just one foul in this one.

Predictions:

⚽ Juan Jesus to commit 1+ fouls @ 1.25

🟨 Cards stats: Barcelona to keep the referee busy

Barcelona have struggled to stay on the right side of referees in the Champions League this season. Across their seven matches thus far, Barcelona have received an average of 2.57 cards per match, picking up a minimum of two yellows in five of their last six Champions League outings. Napoli have clearly made things difficult for their opponents in this competition so far, with their opposition receiving a minimum of two cards in all but one of their seven Champions League matches. Three of Barcelona’s players were cautioned in the first leg, and the bookies are offering a price of 1.29 for the hosts to receive a minimum of two yellows here.

Predictions:

⚽ Over 1.5 Barcelona cards @ 1.29
