Napoli Coach Rafa Benitez looks set to field his strongest side against Wolfsburg this evening despite the Partenopei’s handsome first leg win.
The Vesuviani took an impressive 4-1 victory back to the San Paolo from Germany last week, but Benitez is unlikely to underestimate the opponent by resting key players.

Henrique could start at right back in place of the unavailable Christian Maggio but otherwise the team is likely to be almost unchanged from the first leg.
TuttoNapoli has reported that Duvan Zapata is in contention for a starting spot up front and the likes of Jonathan De Guzman and Manolo Gabbiadini are also in the frame.
However, Corriere dello Sport believes that Benitez will not risk an upset against a severely depleted Wolfsburg side.
The Germans are missing star men Kevin De Bruyne, Andre Schurrle and Vieirinha through injury but will also line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Probable line-ups:
Napoli: Andujar; Henrique, Albiol, Britos, Ghoulam; David Lopez, Inler; Mertens, Hamsik, Callejon; Higuain
Wolfsburg: Benaglio; Trasch, Naldo, Knoche, Rodriguez; Luiz Gustavo, Guilavogui; Caligiuri, Arnold, Perisic; Dost
