Legia Warsaw vs. Napoli 11/4/21 UEFA Europa League Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Legia Warsaw and Napoli face off on Thursday in a UEFA Europa League group league showdown at the Polish Army Stadium. 

When these two teams faced off on October 21st, it was Napoli that came away with the 3-0 victory. Up until the 76th minute, the game was tied but Napoli scored three goals late to come away with the victory. Napoli had 10 shots on goal and 71 percent of the possession, Legia Warsaw had zero shots on goal, and they are going to need the offense to be a lot better. 

Legia Warsaw currently sits in 1st place in Group C having picked up six points. Legia Warsaw looks to be having a down year, and they have lost three of the last four games. In the last game against Pogon Szczecian they couldn’t find the back of the net, and they gave up two goals. The only win during that four-game stretch came two games ago against Swit Skolwin and even that win was only by one goal. Over the last four games, Legia Warsaw has scored only two goals and they need to find a way to have more scoring chances. 

On the other side of this matchup is Napoli who currently sit in 2nd place in the standings having picked up four points. Napoli is playing some really good soccer heading into this game having won three of the last four games. The only other game was a 0-0 draw against Roma. Napoli hasn’t given up a goal in any of the last four games, and they are going to need the defense to be good again in this game. 

Napoli’s defense is elite, and they are going to lock down again in this game. I expect Napoli to only score a goal or two though, and Legia Warsaw isn’t going to get on the board. Look for only one or two goals to be scored and the under will cash.
