I have to pick this game for some bet I am in. I don't follow the Premier League or any of it general. What do you think?

This is the toughest one to me. OL and Juve will be tough as well as City/Real. Barcelona is going through a player campaign to remove their manager, Setién, in favor of club legend xavi.
This will cause many people to go for Napoli, as well as Barcelona’s form. The smart bet? Don’t buy into the hype. Napoli at 7th in table is slowly declining behind a bad defense yet formidable attack. Suarez is back for Barcelona and will be too much.

Is the bet who advances to the next round? Because they did draw in February in the first leg and Barcelona has an edge on away goals. Game could be a neutral site because of COVID. Strange situation for sure.

Someone said Barcelona has to win to advance, but they could be full of it. I know nothing.

Yes, Barcelona has to outright win to advance. Napoli would advance in a tie through the away goal aggregate tiebreaker

It was 1-1 in the first game with Barcelona scoring on the road, so they have a slight edge going in on away goal tiebreaker. But if it ends other an 0-0, that won't be a factor.
I generally agree with the folks in the thread so far. I follow both teams. Napoli won the Italian Cup over Italian league-giant Juventus and wasn't really in range to compete for more so they didn't have to push hard down the stretch. Barcelona wasn't great down the stretch but they're uber-talented and hard to pick against.

That'd be fascinating if it was reset back to 0-0 and just played at a neutral site. I'd put those two in with Bayern and Liverpool for top-4 in Europe/world out of the summer. But with City at home and the two away goals, it will be tough for Madrid to advance.

Agreed. Until Ramos hits a stoppage time winner out of nowhere

They've struggled since the restart but Napoli only managed to finish 7th in Serie A this year. Barca is definitely the better side.
