Napoli can take a giant step towards qualifying for the Champions League knockout stages when they take on Red Bull Salzburg on matchday three.

Carlo Ancelotti's side sprung a surprise when they beat holders Liverpool 2-0 at the San Paolo in the group opener before a drab display in their goalless draw with Genk in Belgium.

Salzburg have shown their mettle after an admirable three-goal comeback at Anfield before eventually succumbing to a 4-3 defeat and crushed Genk 6-2 in their first game, with Norwegian starlet Erling Braut Haaland grabbing a hat-trick.

The Austrians, currently on three points, boast an incredible record at home, scoring 26 goals in their last five home matches in all competitions.

With the Partenopei vying to stay ahead of Liverpool at the top of the group, it could be an enticing encounter in Austria on Wednesday.

Prediction: RB Salzburg 1-2 Napoli

Salzburg put six past Genk and have scored 40 goals at home this season in all competitions, so this will certainly be a tough test for Napoli.

But with the talented Dries Mertens and in-form Arkadiusz Milik in attack, they may be too strong for Jesse Marsch's side.

Which team will finish top of their respective Champions League group?
