Liverpool beat Ajax 3-0 last time out to book a spot in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. This will be their sixth successive season to make it to the knockout stages of the UCL. Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott goals after the break sealed the Reds' advancement to the round of 16. The Reds were on the back foot for the majority of the first half when Mohamed Salah's goal against the flow of play broke the tie three minutes before halftime. However, Klopp's team's poor season continued on Saturday with a 2-1 loss at home to Leeds United in the Premier League. Crysencio Summerville's dramatic goal with just one minute left in regulation sent the away fans into raptures. 

With the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain looking like potential group winners, Klopp would love to avoid facing any of them in the last 16 by beating Napoli by three or more goals on Tuesday, but on current form that is a very tall order. In fact, Napoli's triumph over Sassuolo on Saturday extended their winning streak to a remarkable 13 games across all competitions, and on current form, Luciano Spalletti's team appears to be among the best in Europe this season. 

With their 3-0 victory over Rangers last week, they improved to 5 wins from 5 games in the Champions League this season. They have scored a staggering 20 goals in those wins, which is four more goals than any other side in the group stage. However, with top spot not quite assured for them yet despite being in a strong position in terms of their to head-to-head record with Liverpool having beaten them 4-1 on matchday one, Spalletti will be urging his players to send out a statement by piling on the misery for Klopp's men. 

The Neapolitans would not want to see their winning streak come to an abrupt end on such a prestigious stage, even though a draw or even a narrow defeat would not be a catastrophe considering that their hard work in terms of their Champions League campaign has arguably already been done. Our professional analysts predict that the game will end with both teams scoring.
