Rangers travel to Naples looking to pull off an unlikely comeback to take third and a place in the Europa League.

Napoli are battling Liverpool for top spot, but Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side can still edge out Ajax for third if they take something here. They will then look to Liverpool to secure victory in the other game tonight before targeting victory over the Dutch giants at Ibrox in the final group stage game.

Luciano Spalletti’s side will look to maintain a three-point gap to the Reds though, knowing their 4-1 win positions themselves well to overcome Jurgen Klopp’s side even with defeat at Anfield.

A 3-0 win at Ibrox in the reverse fixture shows the gap in quality here, with victory at Roma last weekend positioning Napoli top of Serie A, while Rangers will hope to at least salvage some respect after suffering a 7-1 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool last time.

Here’s everything you need to know.

What time is Napoli vs Rangers?

The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Wednesday 26 October.

Confirmed line-ups

Napoli XI: Meret, Di Lorenzo, Ostigard, Minjae, Mario Rui, Ndombele, Lobotka, Elmas, Politano, Simeone, Raspadori

Rangers XI: McGregor; Tavernier, King, Davies, Ridvan; Sands, Lundstram; Tillman, Wright, Kent; Morelos

Odds

Napoli: 1/5

Draw: 11/2

Rangers: 12/1

Prediction

Rangers will do well to lose by two here given the form of both teams, with Napoli rampant against Ajax last time out and handing Liverpool a heavy loss here too. The hosts are flying and competition is fierce, which should mean standards remain high for the Serie A leaders to coast to a big win. 3-0.
