This Champions League tie is one that the bookies can’t nail down a firm favourite for. Who do we see coming out on top as Frankfurt and Napoli clash? Find out with our Frankfurt vs Napoli match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.
Frankfurt vs Napoli Prediction 1: Napoli to win
We kick off our tips for this game by backing Napoli to make a real statement here – by taking a first leg lead over Frankfurt in Germany. Frankfurt’s recent form has been pretty decent to be fair but their last five games have seen them fail to win in 60% of those matches – including in their last game, which saw them suffer a heavy 3-0 defeat. Napoli meanwhile are a machine. They have won their last four games and are unbeaten in seven winning six of them. Combine that with the fact they have a have such a large margin of comfort at the summit of Serie A and they can afford to rest and rotate ahead of this game too.
Frankfurt vs Napoli Prediction 2: Both teams will score
We have touched on the fact both teams are in decent form in our first prediction and, as such, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see both teams to score when they lock horns. Frankfurt have scored in four of their last five games racking up a total of nine goals in that time. Napoli meanwhile have netted in all of their last five games with a total of 12 goals bagged in that period. With form like that, this could – and should – be an entertaining match.

Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Frankfurt vs NapoliFrankfurt
As things stand right now Frankfurt will come into this match with a clean bill of health – almost. Marcel Wenig remains sidelined with a broken ankle but all other players are currently fit. The one element of doubt on that front is the fact they need to get through the January transfer window without losing anyone; Evan Ndicka and Randal Kolo Muani have been linked with exits. Despite interest, we think they’ll probably be shifted to the summer shopping lists and therefore be available to feature in this game.
Predicted lineup – Trapp (GK), Tuta, Ndicka, Jakic, Sow, Kamada, Ebimbe, Pellegrini, Gotze, Lindstrom, Muani
Napoli
Napoli have long been an impressive side in Serie A but they’re improving all the time and, right now, they’re top of the league and looking good value for that position as well. We’re fully expecting Luciano Spalletti to set his XI up in a 4-1-2-3 with a focus of his team being on the quick recovery of turned over possession. When on the ball, they then look to move it quickly through their talented attacked players.
Predicted lineup – Meret (GK), Olivera, Rrahmani, Kim. Di Lorenzo, Lobotka, Zielinski, Ndombele, Politano, Kvaratskhelia, Osimhen

Player to watch
We’ve referenced the importance of ball recovery for the Napoli game plan to work and the involvement of Victor Osimhen at the sharp end of the pitch is key to that as he sets the tempo of the visitors press. On top of the hassle and harrying skills Osimhen has, he’s also a deadly finisher and boasts 17 goals from just 18 Serie A matches so far this season.
