Napoli are hoping to book their spot in the Champions League Round of 16 with a win against Ajax this evening.

The match between the Partenopei and the Dutch giants kicks off at 17.45 UK time at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Napoli were overwhelming electric in Amsterdam last week, flying to a 6-1 win at the Johan Cruyff Arena, leaving Ajax battered and bruised. It was a dominant showing and gave Luciano Spalletti’s side another key three points, taking them to nine after three group games. A win against Ajax this evening would confirm their spot in the knock-out stages with two matches to spare.

The only Napoli player out with injury is defender Amir Rrahmani and Victor Osimhen is finally making his return to the squad, although he’ll start the match on the bench.  

Ajax cannot count on Jorge Sánchez, Mohamed Ihattaren or the suspended Dusan Tadic.
