The last-32 of the Europa League begins this evening, with those sides that dropped down from the Champions League joining those that made it through the Europa League group stages.

A plum tie sees Serie A leader’s Napoli take on RB Leipzig, who have made a rapid rise in German football after only being founded in 2009. Leipzig are currently second in the German Bundesliga, though they are a massive 18 points behind leaders Bayern Munich, and could only finish third in their Champions League group, dropping them down into the Europa League.

Napoli are having a fantastic season, currently holding off Juventus at the top of Serie A, with their own Champions League campaign the only disappointment, as they finished well behind Shakhtar Donetsk and Manchester City in their group. I expect Napoli to win their home game well this evening, setting themselves up to progress to the next round. Pool Name - S6 V3 P1 M1: Napoli v RB Leipzig. Napoli on song.
