Tonight we will find out which of the teams of Napoli, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund will leave the competition of the Champions League. All three teams demonstrate great football and absolutely met the high expectations for this group. It is even possible for a team who made 12 points in the group stage of the Champions League to be dropped from the tournament. Currently, Arsenal is the leader with 12 points, while Napoli and Borussia have 9.
Arsenal are in the best position as the Gunners do not have to lose by a margin of 3 or more goals in order to qualify for the next stage. However, even the smallest underestimation of this match from the British could cost them too much. Over the years we have witnessed even greater twists in the Champions League. In view of the performance of Arsenal this season, however, it seems unlikely the team of Wenger to make such a serious mistake. Arsenal did not concede even one goal in six of their last eight games of the Champions League.
The team of Napoli is quite strong at home, conceding just one loss for the season, beating even last year's finalist of the Champions League - Borussia Dortmund. However, in the last two home games we could see some weak sides of the team. With one loss and a draw in those two games Napoli dropped behind with 8 points in Serie A from the leader Juventus. The big problem for Benitez is the injured Marek Hamsik, who is doubtful to take part in this meeting. Undoubtedly, Napoli will be the more aggressive team in this game, chasing the victory, but to qualify for the next stage they will probably also need Borussia not winning against Marseille.
