Real Madrid Vs Napoli Preview: Los Blancos Keeps Smooth Notes

Real Madrid have confirmed themselves qualify for the knockout stages of the 2023/2024 European Champions League (Instagram/@realmadrid).

JAKARTA Real Madrid will try to keep their unbeaten record when they host Napoli in the fifth match of the Group C phase of the European Champions League 2023/2024.

The duel between Los Blancos, who have confirmed themselves to qualify for the knockout stages, against Napoli will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Thursday, November 30, 2023, at 03.00 WIB.

Madrid and Napoli are currently the two best teams in the standings. Los Blancos are in the top position with a maximum score of four matches, while Napoli have seven points from the same number of matches.

Securing four wins from four games makes Los Blancos quite seeded to qualify as group winners. They only need one more point to lock up the position.

The effort to get a point against Napoli should be a task that Carlo Ancelotti's team can complete well. The reason is, their home record is quite good.

Since early April 2023, the Spanish capital team has not lost at home. In addition, they have also won eight of their last nine home games in the Champions League.

Then, Los Blancos' record against Italian teams was also extraordinary. They were recorded to have won all the last nine meetings against teams from Serie A.

One of them was a 3-2 victory when they traveled to Napoli headquarters on the matchday of the two groups. The results Napoli wanted to reply to of course.

Napoli will join Real Madrid in the round of 16 if they win or match Braga's result against Union Berlin. However, winning at Madrid's headquarters is certainly a very tough task.
