How the hell does CZ have a much better rating when possession, shots, dribbles and aerial duels are are all won by Napoli? To my knowledge, shot ratio and possession are far better indicators of future success than tackle and dispossession, which are basically the same thing?
@andrew7taylor It's actually quite simple. CZ defended well, and Napoli attacked poorly. Possession and shot count mean nothing if you can't find a way through. Plus, most of Napoli's shots were outside the box.
@nonosina - If CZ defended well, they wouldn't have had to survive 20 shots, including 2 posts. If you defend well, you don't let the opponent take a shot. And if Napoli would've attacked poorly, they couldn't have taken 20 shots, even from outside of the box. Let alone 8 on target and another 2 off the woodwork. If the ratings don't measure numerical superiority, then what do they mean?
@andrew7taylor Napoli did play a lot better football, an attacking intensive football. But the rating show us how much the players did some impact to the whole game. When FK CZ didn't concede any goal, in rate perspective FK CZ defenders play better than Napoli attackers. As if Napoli had 10 penalties, but none converted into goals. So it must be negative point for Napoli and positive point for FK CZ.
@totalfootball.433 - And Napoli didn't concede a goal, so in rate perspective Napoli defenders played better than the Cverna zvezda attackers, right? So it must be a negative point for CZ and positive point for Napoli, right? So ratings should be the same? Except you already got the score to measure who won?
The home fans could reeeally push this team to the limit and I'm sure they will. So if Napoli are to get a win here, they should really work hard for it. But a bet Crvena Zvezda to score a goal at 1.66 odd seems pretty good.

Surely it's 4-3-3 for Napoli not 4-4-1-1.

Go Napoli! Win 3-1. No surprises, please!
The difficult to pronounce name team will loose all six games. 1-3
@MathCatsFootball and you are loser in life coz nobody wanna pronounce your name
@MathCatsFootball what is difficult in pronouncing "Red Star"?
@antalpoti It's called Crvena Zvezda not Red Star
@Meister13 Crvena Zvezda is in Serbian language, Red Star (English). Napoli (Italian), Naples (English).
@Meister13 They are also called 'Red Star Belgrade' in their area
Napoli will make the most of this tie before Liv and PSG to stay top of the table.
