Champions League eight-finals match, Napoli vs Chelsea betting preview:

Napoli lately did not play well, but their performance last week against Chievo and Fiorentina could coax a smile on Mazzari’s face. The game was again good, and even more importantly, that his main striker, Cavani, returned to goals after the apparent crisis…

Cavani is in the victory, at the awkward guest appearance at Fiorentina, built two goals and now can definitely say that the crisis is behind him. In Napoli all live to meet with Chelsea in the Champions League eight-finals and the atmosphere at the San Paolo will undoubtedly be hellish.

Mazzarri during the last Champions League match against Villarreal was sent off and will not be able to lead a team from the bench. From players, problems with injuries have Vargas and Campagnaro. Just Argentine defender injury makes the most headaches for Mazzarri, and if he fails to recover for the meeting he will be replaced by Grave.

Chelsea seems to defy all those who think that it can’t be worse than this. The last scar, is a failure at home against Birmingham in the eighth-finals of the FA Cup. Although they didn’t lost, the fact that they didn’t beat second-division club, and must play a repeated game, is a failure. Especially in a situation when the fire is burning under their feet, and when a lack of motivation is certainly not one of the reasons for poor play.

As Chelsea is persistent in poor performances, so is and Villas Boas, persisted in his claims that the situation is not alarming and that they need a little more fans patience and luck to all the turns in their favor.

“Didier Drogba kept the motivational speech at halftime? Do not talk nonsense!” -  briefly commented Villas Boas claims that he lost authority in the locker room, and dismissed any possibility of a boycott.

No matter how hard he tried, Villas-Boas have to leave the impression of confident person and he is aware of this. Therefore, on the trip he led Cole and Terry, even though both of them are of questionable health.

Possible lineups:

Napoli (3-4-3): De Sanctis – Britos, Cannavaro, Campagnaro – Dossena, Inler, Dzemaili, Maggio – Lavezzi, Cavani, Hamsik

Chelsea (4-3-3): Cech – Ivanovic, Cahill, David Luiz, Bosingwa – Meireles, Mikel, Ramires – Sturridge, Torres, Mata

Soccer Magazine Prediction:

- Draw – stake 8/10

- Less than 3 goals – 10/10
