(ANSA) – ROME, FEBRUARY 16 – The Camp Nou lights up tomorrow afternoon for the first leg of the Europa League playoffs with Barcelona hosting Napoli. The Neapolitans are looking for a company since, according to Sisal experts, the Blaugrana start favorites at 1.90 while the share is doubled, 3.80, for the blitz of the Azzurri with the draw offered at 3.50. Tomorrow will only be the third match between the two teams: the previous one two years ago, Champions League round of 16, smiled at the Catalans although today the Blaugrana are completely different. The gap between the two teams, however, is shortened in the head-to-head as Barça remains the favorites at 1.75 against Napoli’s 2.00. A penalty, given at 2.75, cannot be ruled out given that in the match three years ago at the Camp Nou two were whistled. Without Depay and Ansu Fati injured, Xavi relies on Aubameyang, still chasing his first goal with the Barcelona shirt: his goal is played at 2.25. Lorenzo Insigne, on the contrary, dreams of repeating himself again in the prestigious Catalan stadium: the goal of the Napoli captain is at 3.75.

Lazio flies to Oporto after 19 years and reunites with an old friend like Sérgio Conceição. Feelings will have to be put aside and his Porto starts ahead, according to Sisal experts, at 2.05 against 3.40 for the Capitoline with the draw offered at the same odds. Great balance, however, in the head-to-head given for both at 1.87. Nineteen years ago, in the semifinal of the Uefa Cup, a turnaround was staged: hypothesis that, for tomorrow night’s match, we play at 7.00. Given the offensive propensity of the two teams, the Goal, at 1.67, appears more likely than the No Goal, at 2.05. It promises to be a crazy challenge between the bomber of the two teams, Taremi and Immobile. The Iranian from Porto, 14 goals and 10 assists this season, faces the Lazio captain, who has already scored on 23 occasions in the current season: the goal, for both, is offered at 2.75. (HANDLE).
