Spartak Moscow - Napoli game could be one of the most exciting ones. Because the group is in a really interesting condition right now. Every team have a big chance to promote to the next round now. Spartak Moscow are at the last place now but their performance so far has been really good. And they defeated Napoli once before by 3-2 away. Why don't they repeat it, right? It depends on Napoli's effort. If they don't care about the game much, Spartak Moscow are capable enough to punish them for it. Both teams should be able to score easily in this game.

I think every team in Group C still has a chance to qualify for the next round. But I do not think Spartak Moscow can win the next match. If Napoli play with their main squad in this match, they will win and they will avenge the defeat against Spartak in the previous match. My guess is that Napoli will win this match 3-1. Napoli are in good form. Winning against a team like Spartak will not be too difficult for them now.

All team in group C have chance qualify to next stage depend how Spartak Moscow vs Napoli result, if Moscow success defeat Napoli and get three points make situation to all team have the same chance on last match, I think Napoli will play with second player composition because all regular player will be ready faced with Inter Milan on Serie A in this week, they need win on Serie A and UEFA Europa League is not really important for Napoli.

I have similar thoughts on Napoli's priorities. The problem is that Spartak is sinking even deeper into the crisis and may lose even to the second Napoli squad. They are currently in 10th place in the national championship and their performance is terrible. They even have a negative difference between goals scored and conceded. Considering that half of the teams in the Russian Premier League are rubbish, that means a lot.

That is the case now indeed. Spartak Moscow are not a bad team actually considering their performance in the Europa League so far. They made difficulties for Napoli especially as they won the game also. This must be the reason why people are this much curious about the result of this game in Russia this time. The games in Russia in European tournaments have been quite challenging for big teams so far. But there is a visible gap between these teams. I'm expecting to see Napoli performing decently and in this way they can still win this game and consolidate their place in their group.

[baeva]

Do you think they will give it their all in their league, but for the match against Spartak they will not show their full strength? In principle it is possible, yes, that in the match against Spartak Moscow there will not be the main players, although I see that Spartak can beat a strong team if they want to

Of course, they are at the top of the Serie A standings and it is imperative to maintain that position until the end of the season, as I said before that their opponents in the Europa League are only Spartak Moscow.

Spartak are at the bottom of group c, they've lost motivation and Napoli don't need to put their full strength into it against Spartak.

I agree with you, but I have a slight feeling that the match against Spartak will be difficult. There is a rumor, and I think it is even officially confirmed, that Napoli's president would like to play in Moscow on a neutral field, and not on Spartak's field, so there is some apprehension, and therefore there is fear, at least for the club president

[KingsDen]

I think I got your point.
When managing an average club, more of your job is coaching the players to get result.
Unlike when you are managing a big team;
You will manage the individual players;
You will manage the whole team;
You will manage the fans expectations;
You will also manage the fierced conditions of the Board.
Finally, the expectations will be high.

Yes, that is what I am trying to say. And also if you are managing a big team you have to listen to the star players of the team. As their actions can be more impactful on the media and to people. Just like the Cristiano Ronaldo situation in Manchester united. And as he has better players, if they don't perform, it's on the manager. So a manager can be under some pressure while managing a big team.

You got a very serious and notable point here. In a big team almost all the players are proven good and skillful, so whenever a team is doing bad, it will be attributed to the coach hence the individual players profile is bright.
But for an average club the narrative is different. When the team performs poorly it will be attributed to the average players being used and hence call for new signings. Thanks for pointing this out.
Also whenever a big club coach has a fight with high profile players, the players always win.

I do believe that Italian teams are the way to go for this one. Napoli and Lazio will definitely be doing good, both of their opponents are not close in level neither if you ask me. I am sure that there will be some cases where we get to see some situation where people will want to get most out of these games. However, I believe that europa is not the way to go, there are too many teams who are close to each other in level and also even the lower level teams fight their hardest ever in these cups and make the difference. I really hope that they could find a way drop the number of teams in champions league and europa league now that they have conference league.

Yes, exactly and because of the player proving himself in the past under other managers, everyone points to the manager don't do his work correctly. And when small clubs face this problem it's generally the player's fault because he is not in form.

3 points must be achieved by spartak moscow in that match, although their chances of qualifying for the knockout phase are very small but at least they will try hard to beat napoli, currently spartak moscow is at the bottom of the standings with a value of 4 points and besides having to win against napoli, The fate of Spartak Moscow also depends on the results of other matches, I think this match will be very exciting to watch because after all, the two teams will hard compete to get 3 points.

I might throw something on this match if I feel the itch. Spartak gave me a very good upset against Napoli in the first leg, and the Italians have just been struggling all season to get things underway in Europe but I fear the backlash from that loss against Inter. Only problem is it's barely 55/10 for a home win so that's highly unattractive for me until or unless the odds switch back to them being a big underdog.

P.S. Also hope United drop to this competition in a couple of weeks haha.

I doubt that luck will turn to Spartak. And I'm not even talking specifically about their match, but it's unlikely that the rest of the matches will end up in such a way that Spartak will pass on. In this group we can only watch with interest Leicester, who is in third place and may try to get out of second place

[blue Snow]

Is Spartak vs Napoli play the same time as the Champions League?. I read the schedule play in tomorrow, I'm not sure, maybe I have a mistake about the time zone.

Napoli must be a win to lock his position and Spartak also. the game will insist on each other, Napoli is not soo good after getting the first loss in Serie A while Spartak has the same condition. the C group is one that has a chance at each other, doesn't have a dominant club, all have a chance to step in the next round (Leicester and Legia either). the results will be obtained after all matches have been played.

[hahay]

This is a very tight schedule for Napoli and very different to Spartak Moscow who have a longer break of at least 2 days apart, even though Spartak Moscow are at the bottom but their points are not much different. This factor will probably be very favorable for Spartak Moscow because even, in their first match or in the 1st leg Spartak Moscow can beat Napoli with a score of 2-3, Spartak Moscow play away. Even so, Napoli are still the favorites in this match, whether Napoli can get revenge or lose again, considering that Napoli previously had to play Inter and then have to face Lazio in Serie A with a schedule that can be said to be tight with this one.

Yes, maybe we can't be sure what will happen in that match, but usually a big motivation for something will certainly have a big effect, as happened to Spartak today, which is in a crucial match that will determine their fate, of course this will trigger motivation for them so that they can play in totality in the match, in my opinion the current condition of Spartak is very worthy of attention by Napoli later.

With the current condition of Manchester United, it seems that your wish to see Manchester United playing here will come true and if that happens, Ronaldo will certainly repeat the history of 2002-2003 when he played in the European League with Sporting Lisbon

I always feel like the penultimate game of group stages are most fun, so yeah MatchDay 5 of a 4-team group is always the best, as very few teams will have qualified for next stage, some teams will want to be top seed, and almost all teams should have a small chance to keep their hopes alive.

That does make betting a bit hard as motivation should be there for 90% of teams, but in the case of Spartak as I said, odds haven't changed much so I will probably look elsewhere, maybe against a team already qualified to hope they field B team.

Don't know about my wish as teams without managers have a weird statistical "bounce" that could be too much for Villareal!

Napoli has always been a team that for me represents being a gallant of good football, although its players are not renowned as in many teams, it is one of the teams that best meshes with its players, I see that they understand each other well, I am not saying that they will be champions or anything like that, but I think it will be a team that as it continues to advance it will complicate the existence of many teams that are even usually favorites.

I don’t think Napoli would be beaten because they’ll be upset about the loss in Italian League, hence I expect them to put in a solid performance and win this game. Lastly Spartak Moscow will have to put in a incredible performance to tame Napoli, which I doubt will happen, so in my personal opinion it’s Napoli who’ll win it.

Yes, this match will take place today, but not simultaneously with the Champions League matches, but earlier. I don't know what caused such a change in the game time (the rest of the Europa League matches will take place tomorrow), but for those who are looking forward to an important match of their favorite team in the Champions League, this is a good option to sit and watch an "unimportant" game and while away the time. For the clubs themselves, the priority of this game is also unclear, at least Napoli definitely thinks about the domestic league more than the Europa League.

In group C there is not a single club that is certain to qualify arrive at the 5th match so far, all teams in group C have the same opportunity to qualify for the next round of the european league, the match between napoli and spartak will certainly be very fierce, especially the two teams both need 3 points to be able to strengthen their position, especially Napoli, of course making the match against Spartak a match to lock their position as the leader of the standings, after napoli losing to Intermilan in the league, theur will be certainly make the match against Spartak a place of revenge and revival to come back On the way to victory, it can be said that this match will be a life-and-death match between the two teams.
