Napoli has themselves quite a hill to climb given they have to mount a huge comeback in their last-32 second leg tie against Granada. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Granada shocked Napoli in the first leg last week as the Spanish side recorded a monumental victory. With two wick fire goals in the 19th and 21st minutes, Granada put themselves in a brilliant position quite early in the game. It was an amazing defensive display from then on as they managed o restrict their opponents to only one shot on target even with the Naples-based side having 62% of the ball.

Highly spirited encounter on the cards

Following that shock loss, last Thursday, Gattuso and his troops went to record et another loss but this time in the league. They travelled to Atalanta in what was expected to be a tough task given their opponents' recent form. Napoli shipped four goals at the Gewiss Stadium with the match ending 4-2 in favour of the home side.

Granada, on the other hand, hasn't been in the best of form. Before that win last Thursday, they had lost their last four games in all competitions. Martinez and his troops also went on to lose again last weekend to Huesca. In a game in which they had to end with 10 men, Granada was once again on the losing end of things as Huesca ran out 3-2 winners. With that loss, they're now winless in six league games.

Napoli vs Granada Prediction: 2-1

Napoli goes into this game without several first-team players and given that they have to mount on a hell of a comeback, that could prove difficult. Granada hasn't been the best of teams and will be expected to sit back and try to protect the two-goal advantage. As such, we back the home side to win the game but given their injuries, they most likely wouldn't make it to the next round.
