But team managed to get a 1:1 draw in an away match, that result left a chance for a playoffs to Spartak - second-placed Legia has only two points more, Napoli is three points ahead.
SSC Napoli
ItalyNapoli was considered the main favourite for a victory in the group and in the first match Luciano Spalletti's team proved that they deserved that status - in an away match against Leicester (2:2) Neapolitans came back from being 0:2 down.

Tip and bets
Spartak is still fighting for the playoffs, but surely the Red-Whites are not looking as good as Leicester and Napoli. Today is an extremely important match for Spartak - team needs points to continue the fight for a play-off spot, and a positive result can lift the weight off the head coach and the players.
It will be an extremely important clash for Spartak, but not for Napoli - Parthenopeans left way too much energy in the match against Inter on weekend and now they will have an another important match against Lazio, it is surely a top priority for the team, so Spartak will have a chance to pick up points.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) for Spartak
Spartak already proved that they are able to snatch the points from the favourites despite a difference on class. A victory over Napoli and a draw against Leicester gained team's confidence. Neapolitans surely won't field their strongest squad for the match and visitors will be much less motivated than the hosts - even in this situation it will be hard to beat the Italians, but Spartak should be able to snatch a draw.
