Real Madrid vs Napoli - Champions League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Real Madrid take on Napoli at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night
- Madrid will qualify for Champions League round of 16 as Group C winners should they avoid defeat
- Napoli are yet to secure place in knockouts with Braga on their tail
Real Madrid will confirm their place in the Champions League round of 16 as Group C winners should they pick up at least a point against Napoli on Wednesday night.
The group phase has generally been a stroll for Carlo Ancelotti's side after they were made to work hard for their opening two victories. A Federico Valverde stunner got them over the line in Naples on Matchday 2 which saw them take full control of the group early on.
Napoli, meanwhile, are now led by Walter Mazzarri following the exit of Rudi Garcia, and his second spell at the club got off to an impressive start on Saturday as they beat Atalanta 2-1 in Bergamo. However, with Braga expected to beat Union Berlin on Wednesday, Napoli have still got plenty of work to do if they're to join Madrid in the round of 16.
Here's 90min's preview of Real Madrid's Champions League clash with Napoli.

Real Madrid vs Napoli score prediction
While Mazzarri's appointment might be underwhelming, his reign got off to an excellent start at the weekend and Napoli will head into this fixture with some momentum behind them.
The reverse fixture proved there's little to separate the pair and given Napoli's greater desperation, they could cause an upset here.
Madrid have been mightily efficient at the start of the new season and are unlikely to lose on home soil, but the spoils may end up being shared following another entertaining bout between these two sides.
