The Italians have struggled on their travels in the competition recently so the draw looks like the best value opportunity.

Second Win Against Klopp’s Men

Napoli also beat Liverpool 1-0 in the second tie of last season’s group stage but finished third behind Paris St Germain and the English club and transferred to the Europa League.

However, their current form is good and they were fourth in Serie A with four wins and two defeats following Sunday’s 2-1 win at home against Brescia (September 29).

A late penalty from Dries Mertens and a  follow-up from substitute Fernando Llorente earned the win against Liverpool.

Belgian champions Genk are in the group stage for the third time but have never won a single game in that section of the competition.

 

They were sixth in their homeland’s First Division A table with four wins, two draws and three defeats following Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Sint-Truidense VV (September 28).

Naploli are coached by Carlo Ancelotti – a European Cup winner twice as a player with AC Milan and a Champions League winner three times as a manager with AC Milan and Real Madrid.

Serie A Runners-Up for Second Season

After finishing as Serie A runners-up in 2018/19for the second successive season, they are in the group stage for the sixth time.

They reached the round of 16 in 2011/12 and 2016/17 but have failed to progress in three other campaigns.

Their away form in the competition has been poor.

 

They have not won away from the San Paolo Stadium in seven fixtures and earned only two points on their travels last season.

Attacking midfielder Ianis Hagi is the son of Romanian superstar Georgi Hagi. He scored twice in the weekend’s 3-3 draw at Sint-Truidense.

Genk and Napoli have never met before in European competition.

This is the first time Genk qualified automatically for the group stage after progressing through qualifying rounds in 2002/03 and 2011/12.

Attacking midfielder Ianis Hagi is the son of Romanian superstar Georgi Hagi. He scored twice in the weekend’s 3-3 draw at Sint-Truidense.

Hagi has scored three times this season while the leading scorer is the Tanzanian Mbwana Samatta with five strikes.

Conceded 10 in Two Games

Genk won their group in the Europa League last season ahead of Malmo, Besiktas and Norway’s Sarpsborg 08.

They were knocked out in the last 32 after losing 4-1 at home in the second leg against Slavia Prague following a goalless draw in the Czech Republic

After the hammering by Salzburg on this season’s matchday one, it means they have conceded 10 goals in their last two European fixtures.

Pick: Draw (+350)
