Despite producing a good performance against Liverpool at Anfield, Salzburg finally suffered a 4-3 loss to Champions League winners in the second match of their group. The Reds started the Champions League campaign with a 6-2 victory over Genk in their beautiful Red Bull Arena and are definitely give fans reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Napoli. Salzburg are brimming with confidence ahead of the game and we predict that the Austrian champions will share the spoils with the Serie A outfit, who failed to impress in a goalless draw with Genk. Napoli continued their habit of producing beautiful displays at home, while struggling on the go

Junuzovic has become one of the leading midfielders Bundesliga, scoring a number of goals from set pieces and producing countless assists for his teammates, and it is a real miracle how he has not joined a bigger club. Capable of operating as a defensive midfielder, but much more dangerous as an attacking midfielder, Junuzovic has been a key player for Austria for a few years now and he is in fine form as Das Team secured their place in the Euro 2016 final.

Prediction
It seems like a lifetime ago Salzburg came from a 3-0 4-3 loss to Liverpool last time in the Champions League. It's only defeat in their last 12 games in all competitions.
Napoli are unbeaten in their last four games and have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three. They currently lead Group E with one point with both Liverpool and Salzburg one point further back.
Salzburg have shown they can mix it with Liverpool this season and there is no reason why they can not take at least a point off Napoli on Wednesday.
