Napoli host Rangers at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in the Champions League on Wednesday, with both sides having contrasting campaigns so far.
Napoli are currently top of Group A, three points ahead of Liverpool in second. Luciano Spalletti's side have been in incredible form this season and are currently on an 11-game winning streak across all competitions. They will look to extend their run and all but clinch top spot in the group with a win against Rangers this week.
On the other hand, Rangers are currently bottom of Group A, having lost all four of their games so far. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side have been in decent form of late, having won three of their last five games across all competitions. They will hope to pick up their first win against Napoli on Wednesday.
