There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Europa League 16th Finals meeting between Granada and Napoli. Game on!

Granada and Napoli should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

It's quite the trip for Napoli when visiting Granada as the cities are 2400 kilometers apart.

Napoli form and stats

Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the quarter-finals against Arsenal.

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Napoli have produced an overall stat of 6-0-4 so far. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 3W-2D-1L. This is both home and away. Napoli has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Napoli won their last game, 1-0 versus Juventus played at home. Prior to that match, the Napoli manager I. Gattuso faced defeat when travelling to Atalanta and losing 1-3.

Napoli goalie Alex Meret was high and low in the Juventus game, contributing six saves towards the victory.

Napoli has another fixture away, a Serie A game, against Atalanta in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

The travelling fans enjoy Napoli's attacking play in away games, having scored 17 goals in 10 league matches away. As opposed to that, Napoli have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
