Napoli v Legia background

SSC Napoli will look to maintain their imperious form in UEFA Europa League Group D, but Legia Warszawa will be eager to pounce if their hosts have an off day.

• Napoli are confirmed as group winners.

• Legia can only qualify if they win and the other game is drawn, since they would then pip FC Midtjylland on goal difference.

Previous meetings
• Napoli won 2-0 in Warsaw when the sides met for the first time in UEFA competition on matchday two.

• Napoli's only previous encounter with a Polish club was a 2-0 aggregate victory against WKS Śląsk Wrocław in the 1976/77 European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals.

• Legia's 15 games against Italian teams have ended W2 D5 L8 (W0 D2 L5 in Italy). They have not won in the most recent eight of those matches (D3 L5) since a 1-0 success against UC Sampdoria in March 1991.

Form guide
• Napoli are the only side with a 100% record in this season's group stage. They have also scored the most goals (17 – an average of 3.4 per game) and conceded the fewest (one).

• Legia won all three of their qualifying away games this season without conceding, but have lost both of their Group D away games without scoring.

• Napoli made it through to the knockout stage in all three of their previous UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns.

The coaches
