REF’s picks

Villarreal hold the home advantage at the Estadio de la Ceramica and should edge past a depleted Napoli side missing several key starters.

1. 1Villarreal boast strong home scoring form domestically despite their opening Champions League setback.
2. 2Napoli arrive with significant defensive absences including Alessandro Buongiorno and physical midfield limitations.
3. 3However, Villarreal's leaky backline has conceded frequently in recent outings, leaving room for defensive lapses.
