Napoli takes on Dynamo Moscow in what should be a really tough Europa League tie for the Italians.
The hosts are on a 3 match winless streak right now, but the situation is not so bad considering the fact that they met Torino, Lazio and Inter, playing on the road twice. The main goal for Napoli is obviously regaining the 3rd place in the Serie A and qualifying for Champions League, but they treated pretty seriously the Europa League so far, including the tie against a banged-up Trabzonspor in the Round 16 – winning 4-0 away and 1-0 at home, playing their best lineup each time.
Dynamo Moscow has been one of Europa League’s brightest stars this season – 6 wins in a group with PSV, Panathinaikos and Estoril, followed by a 3-1 aggregate win against a pretty good Anderlecht team. The visitors are on an amazing run of 13 matches without a loss in official competitions, winning 10 of them, and started the second part of the Russian season very well with a 3-1 win over Ufa last weekend. They will play the derby against Spartak on Sunday.

Like Napoli, Dynamo is fighting neck and neck for the last Champions League spot in their domestic competition, but they do look more focused on Europa League – the Russians always being very motivated in European competitions. Napoli are a little bit off their game right now and this could make them to struggle against such a well organized and hard to defeat opponent. Dynamo will treat this as one of the matches of the season and I reckon they have the ability and the particular circumstances to get a result.
