MATCH DETAILS:
“Napoli” last season was unable to compete with “Juventus” in Serie A, but traditionally it defended the second line without any problems. In the summer there were no global changes in the club – Carlo Ancelotti strengthened several positions, but the backbone of the team remained the same, thanks to which the “Partenopeyans” will probably try this season to take the scudetto.
“Liverpool” already this season had the opportunity to add two trophies to the collection, but in the end he took only one. Having lost the final of the English Super Cup Manchester City in the penalty shootout, the team of Jürgen Klopp did not lose heart and won the European Super Cup. In the confrontation with Chelsea, things again came to blows from 11 meters, but this time the Reds did not miss their chance.
In the Premier League, Liverpool has no equal yet – after five rounds, he single-handedly leads the standings. At the moment, the gap from the second “Manchester City” is already five points, the third “Tottenham Hotspur” is already seven points behind. In the last round, the Reds met the forecasts of the fans and beat Newcastle 3-1 with a strong-willed victory.
