Spartak Moscow - Napoli game is coming and it carries big importance also. Because there is only a gap of three points between these teams in the group. Napoli are the leader but this can change anytime also. And there is an interesting statistics also like Spartak Moscow defeated Napoli by 3-2 away before. And who knows, maybe they will be able to do this again in this game. But in this game, I expect a stronger and more determined Napoli. My first prediction is BTTS.

It will be an interesting match between Napoli and Moscow. I think Napoli should win this match but I also think that if somehow Moscow manages to win against Napoli, there will be effects on the table. As the point difference is really small and any team could finish anywhere in this group.

Moyes performance amuses me. Yes, before he came to Manchester United, he was a good coach. But in Old Trafford, the narrative wasn't smooth for him or was he not given enough time to prove himself?
Could it be that if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is given an average club now he could do well?
I think there is a particular tension that comes with big teams.

Westham don't just need only one good player, they need more to strengthen their bench. It will not be a wrong investment now that the team is promising.

While managing big teams the manager has to look after a lot of things. And if you have some certain good players you need to make plays around them. But with small teams, I don't think that is the idea as they don't have too many great players so the managers just run a play and the players do their best to execute it. So the same thing not working for the big teams is kind of justifiable.

There is still a high competition in the Group C now while there are two games left to the end of the group games. There is only a three-point gap between the leader Napoli and the team at the last place which are Spartak Moscow. And exactly one week later, Spartak Moscow are going to be playing a home game against Napoli. Their previous game ended by the victory of S. Moscow by 3-2 away. But while there is a critical situation in the group, I don't expect Napoli to make a big mistake. I think they will take revenge on S. Moscow and get comfortable about their lead.

^ Yes, Napoli should win easily against Moscow. As Napoli is a far better team than Moscow in my opinion. And their performance proves it has they have done well in both UEFA league and Serie A. In UEFA League they are in the first part of the group and in Serie A they are also in the first place.

like @CLS63 said, there is only a gap of three-points between 1st and last and any team that fancies their chances of progressing, needs to take the 6 points from the last 2 matches....and just this alone is a match stick to light the fire all both teams! BTW, If Napoli aren't going to throw all the have into the pitch, they could have a shock of their lives by being knocked out after having started off with a slight advantage as of today, but with they expereince they have i dont think they will mess this up.

The match between napoli and spartak is an important match for napoli to secure a ticket to the next round, as well as spartak which will certainly be a life and death match for them, currently spartak have 4 points and still have a chance to qualify for the next round if they can won the match, and I think Napoli, which has a better squad quality than Spartak, of course should not underestimate Spartak, because of course Spartak players have the high motivation to keep their chances of qualifying and they might surprise Napoli later.

The opening will be held on 24 November with a good match. Napoli will play against Spartak Moscow. Napoli, which is doing well in the Italian league, will definitely win this match. I'm thinking of watching West Ham United's game on November 25th. They will play Rapid Wien.

Napoli can win from Spartak Moscow because want to lock first position standing on Europe league group C, right now Napoli have seven points and most interested on this group because spent only one point from first, second, third and four position, all team have the same chance left two match to pass knock out group with Leicester City and Legia Warsaw have the same chance too.

If Napoli wants to take the win, then it will take it. They have for sure a better team and this is a chance to qualify in the next stage as first. I hardly believe that they can ruin their chances. Of course, Spartak wants the win as well but TBH (and my apologies to the Spartak fans) there is no comparison between these two teams.

it will be an easy game for napoli considering they will be playing with this russian pain team. in any case Napoli will definitely win the match because indeed in terms of standings and their statistics are very far above Spartak.
On the other hand, West Ham has also confirmed that they will play an easy match at this time because their position is the same as Spartak in Group C.
The dominance of Napoli and Westham in the Europa League will continue in this continued match.

Directly to the victory I would not count on, but that they will definitely fight for the semifinals, or even the finals, I can say with confidence, they are really starting to show themselves very well on the field in the Europa League at the moment. If they do not have any misunderstandings, the road to the semifinals is open for sure, and then we will have to look at the situation

You can't put any team to semi finals directly without knowing their opponents, an unlucky draw would dramatically change the outcome of trophy. West Ham is playing pretty impressive this season both in local league and in European competition but the main question is how long will they keep this high performance and how bad do they want to achieve something big. I can see them in semis or final but don't forget that there are many other good teams in this tournament. There will be big teams coming from Champions League as well, they always be the contender.

I understand, but I only assume and hope for it, West Ham can finish the season and the Europa League extravaganza, then they need to go to the semifinals at least. It's understandable that something could go wrong, but so far I don't see that, I don't see an opponent that could easily beat them. And let's not even mention the tough matches; that's what they are.

Interestingly, there is only one team that have guaranteed promoting to the 1/8-finals now. And it is Lyon as they won all of their four matches and their nearest opponent has 4 only points. There is no other team that have guaranteed to qualify for this round or the 1/16-finals. Considering there are two match weeks left, this means that the competition will be at a high level.

Lyon's Europa League performance impressed me. They are playing very well. More important than the fact that they have won 4 matches, they have dominated and won in 4 matches. They have scored 12 goals in 4 matches. On average, they have scored 3 goals in each match. Which was really awesome and every match was very enjoyable.

Well Lyon in the European League is definitely one team that should be taken very seriously as a contender for the title. Next to them or a bit stronger I would say, I see Napoli even though they haven't convinced in the same way so far. But they are definitely very strong as we can see in the Serie A and they will also improve in the EL for sure with time going on.

Let's also wait and see which teams join the final round from the CL They will also be serious competitors.

Lyon has really impressed me with their performance. They played 4 matches and won all of them. Even for the big clubs that are problematic at times. I have to say a day exceeded mine or I think all of our expectations. Now let's hope they can carry forward this type of play in the future.

Oh Lyon is certainly able to beat any team on a very good day and with a good portion of luck. I wouldn't say they are competitive enough to keep up with PSG in the Ligue 1, but Europa League they can and will play a role as their quality is high enough to get strong teams into trouble in a knockout situation.

If Westham can be trusted to get to the finals and semi finals, they can also be trusted to win the Cup. Moyes and his boys are doing extremely well. Just that I am afraid they may not sustain the momentum for a longer time, especially if injury hits. Also, they are doing well in both Europa League and EPL
If will be fine if they focus much on one because the journey is somewhat far.
I will personally be sad if at the end of the season, Westham neither lifts the Europa cup nor appear in EPL top 4.

Right now Moyes job is to maintain the performance of his team to be consistent until the end of the season, the storm of injuries will certainly affect the team in the future, but I'm sure that Moyes will be able to rotate the players well to face their tight match schedule, and of course the transfer market later, will be west ham must also be active in the transfer market to further strengthen their squad, especially now with the acquisition of West Ham shares by Czech businessmen, of course, Westham finances have returned to good.

Moyes is doing a really good job of coaching West Ham. The team also doing really well under his authority. Injuries will always be an issue for every manager but considering how Moyes has done I think he will be able to handle this situation and rotate the players properly. Can I think West Ham needs to buy 1 good playmaker for their squad in the next transfer market?

Yes, there are many other teams who although some are not good in the local league, but they have been promising so far in this tournament. Not only that, teams like the teams from Italy and Spain they are currently looking good in the local league as well. So yes, we can't be sure that West Ham will easily reach the final match, because the road to get to the final match is still a lot of obstacles to be faced and even West Ham themselves still don't know what kind of opponent they will face because sometimes the team who performed well at the beginning, slipped in the decisive match in the knockout round later.

Well, that has happened in the past. But I think West Ham should be aware of that and continue to play their best. Till now they are looking really promising in this tournament. And as the tournament goes on I think they will face much bigger opponents than they have faced before in this tournament.

Galatasaray is unexpectedly doing very well in this tournament. Despite having very strong opponents, they won their matches by scoring a single goal and not conceding a goal. It is very likely that they will finish first in this group, I wonder what they will do in the next round. How far can they go? They have won this trophy before. Doing well here makes them go bad in the league though. The manager couldn't find a solution to this, so I guess they have to choose, it's either Turkish league or Europa League. I think it would be more effective to go as far as possible in Europe.

I think it's too early to talk about the prospects in the europa league, since now even the list of participants in the 1/8 finals is not clear. Very strong teams from the Champions League (for example, Milan) can get there, and in this case Galatasaray will definitely not be the favorite of the tournament. I think about the chances we can talk about after the play-offs (which will take place before the 1/8 finals). In general, the format of the tournament certainly does not allow us to consider it serious.

@poldanmig I believe more than Lyon West Ham has a golden chance to win this trophy, but they’ll have to continue displaying top form to win it in the end. Lastly Napoli is also being touted to win the Europa League along with West Ham, hence I feel that one of these 3 teams will win it.

^ These three teams are displaying lots of good football in this Europa League but I have been most impressed with Lyon. I was amazed that they didn't even lose one match even draw one match. The other two teams have drawn or lost at least one match. So I think Lyon has the most chances of winning.

Lyon became the first team to lock up tickets to the last 16 of the Europa League after winning 4 matches without defeat, even though they still have 2 matches left but the 12 points that lyon have will not be able to be caught by other teams at this time, I think lyon must maintain its performance in the league Europe this season, because although it's a little difficult, of course, Lyon has a chance to get a trophy compared to its chances in Ligue 1, the Europa League trophy can actually be a target for clubs that are not able to compete to win trophies in their respective leagues, such as Westham, Lyon and as well as other teams, besides winning the european league will certainly get an automatic ticket to the champions league next season.
