5 things to look out for on Matchday 2 of the Champions League

#2 UCL thriller expected in Naples as Liverpool visit Napoli

Liverpool always guarantee goals in the UCL

Napoli versus Liverpool sounds like a good game. Throw in the home side’s need for 3 points and the away team’s penchant for high scoring games and it sounds like an instant classic.

On Saturday, Carlo Ancelotti’s men were humbled by Juventus in Serie A. Now, they sit six points behind their title rivals. Liverpool needed a dying minute rocket from Daniel Sturridge to get a point against Chelsea over the weekend.

This sets the stage nicely for the clash at the San Paolo on Wednesday evening. Napoli’s surprising draw on Match Day One against Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) has heaped early pressure on the team. With a double-header against PSG to come, the Partenopei need points badly.

Given the make-up of the group, Jurgen Klopp knows that there will be no let up for his side. The last-gasp win against PSG on Matchday One was encouraging. However, they should have been out of sight long before the French side equalized.

Two teams who are brilliant going forward always makes for a fascinating encounter. This seems like a game for the neutral to sit back, relax and savour.
