Ancelotti: 'Napoli are more likely to go through than Liverpool'

Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti has said that the partenopei will look to play in a similar way tomorrow against Liverpool as they played against them in the first game between the two side some weeks ago. He also said that Napoli are more likely to go through.

The permutation of qualification is a fragile one. Liverpool have to win 1-0 to qualify and if they concede one, they'd have to win by a two goal margin to go through. Napoli though, have to win, draw or make sure they don't lose 1-0 and don't lose by a 2 goal margin.

Ahead of the game, Ancelotti was talking to Sky Sports and talked about his side will look to approach the game. He said they'll play similar to how they played in the first game.

He said: "I do not know what Liverpool will do, but we know the intensity that we put in these matches and we have to be focused on what we want. We are here to play our game as we have always tried to do, then sometimes we he have succeeded and other times we haven't. But if we are clever in both phases, we have more chances to get through.

"We certainly will not take the opponent lightly. We are at the final stage of a path where we have done very well and now we need to take one last step.

"It is impossible to think that tomorrow we will be superficial: the first leg  taught us so many things and from that we start again to try and play a similar match."
