Paris Saint Germain - Napoli Football prediction

Paris Saint Germain and Napoli join forces at Parc des Princes in a UEFA Champions League (Group Stage) match. There is no record of official clashes between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last confrontation was on 11-08-2014 and ended with the result: Napoli (1-2) Paris Saint Germain. In this match the home factor could play an important role, since Napoli presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Review of Paris Saint Germain
The home team arrives in this third round of Group C in 3rd place, with 3 points won, after 1 win and 1 loss. In his debut he lost out to Liverpool by (3-2). In the second round, he won at home for the Red Star by (6-1). This is a team that maintains the income when it plays outside its stadium, because in the last 30 games it registers 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses as a visitor; against 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in his stadium. In the last game he played for Ligue 1, he beat Amiens at home (5-0). In the last 10 home games, Paris Saint Germain recorded 9 wins and 1 loss. His attack has been marked with great regularity, since he has always scored at least one goal in the last 10 games. In his home games there is a tendency to score goals, as 30 of his last 31 games have finished with over 1.5 goals and 28 in 31 have finished with more than 2.5 goals. In 15 games, he suffered the first goal 5 times but managed to turn the score in 3.

Paris Saint-Germain is a club that has never managed to win the Champions League, but has won the Ligue 1 (French Championship) seven times in its history, being the most recent title won in 2017/18. In the current season the team has been making an irregular campaign inside the Champions League, obtaining a victory and a defeat in the first rounds, being thus in the third position of Group C, a point behind the leader. In the last five games that Paris Saint-Germain played as principal, counting several competitions, in all they were scored one or more goals in the first half. I believe that in this match the PSG again will be able to open the scoreboard early in the match by playing at home and needing the victory.

Analysis of Napoli
After 1 win and 1 draw, the visiting team arrives in this third round in the 1st position of Group C, with 4 points won. In the previous round, won at home against Liverpool by (1-0), after in the first match in this group stage have tied for (0-0) away against Red Star. This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when played with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games has recorded 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses as a visitor, with a total of 17 goals scored and 21 conceded. Already inside the home, it won 13 victories, 1 tie and 1 defeat, with a total of 35 goals scored and 13 conceded. The team arrives in this match after a win away to Udinese by (0-3). In the last 10 matches played in all competitions, Napoli have won 5, drawn 1 and lost 4. Their attack has scored regularly, as they managed to make it 8 out of the last 10 games.

Napoli is a club that has not yet managed to win the Champions League, but has a European League title, as well as having two Serie A titles (TIM) throughout its history. In the current season, the team has been making a good campaign within the Champions League, managing to win the first two matches, thus leading the Group C, just one point ahead of the second and third place. In the last five games that Napoli played as a visitor, counting several competitions, in four of them were scored one or more goals in the first half. I believe that in this confrontation, to face a very strong opponent, Napoli will make another game that will have the score open in the first half.
