Champions League: Group Stage: Genk travels to Napoli for this exciting encounter
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1600 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Napoli form and stats
Last season, Napoli's Champions League journey ended in the group stage.Napoli have played 7 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). On the other hand, in the Champions League, Napoli has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses.
The home team returns to Stadio San Paolo after sharing the points with Udinese on their last time out; the Serie A game ended 1-1. Preceding that match was a Serie A defeat to Bologna (1-2).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Napoli as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Parma are visiting.
Napoli are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. Napoli are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio San Paolo in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 7 matches.
Genk form and stats
Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the 16th finals against Slavia Praha.There's been little loot from Genk's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 9 away games in the Pro League. Genk only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Champions League stats, they have 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses both home and away.
Two travels in a row for Genk, whose manager H. Wolf could celebrate last time after the Pro League win against Cercle Brugge. A 3-3 draw at Antwerp's stadium before that.
A new game in only four days for Genk, the Pro League home match versus Waasland-Beveren. Busy days.
Genk find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 11 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Genk have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.
