Eyes focused on Nyon, home of the Europa League draw, where today Inter and Napoli will know the opponents who will face in the knockout stages of the competition. The training coached by Luciano Spalletti easily passed the sixteenth eliminating Rapid Vienna (0-1 first leg in Austria, 4-0 on the return to San Siro); same speech for Napoli that beat the Swiss team of Zurich in the double comparison (1-3 in the first leg 2-0 on the return to San Paolo). It will be possible to watch live the draw starting at 1 pm on Sky Sport Football and Sky Sport 24: in the studio Leo Di Bello, Anna Billò and Beppe Bergomi, with Alessandro Alciato sent to the Swiss city; the draw of the eighths will be visible in live streaming on skysport.it. The main news, from the point of view of the regulations, of the draw of the Europa League knockouts is that it will be possible to pair two clubs from the same country: in theory, it will therefore be possible also an Italian derby between Napoli and Inter.

Inter and Naples: who to avoid the draw

Lots of snares from Nyon's urn for Inter and Napoli. The Italian teams will certainly want to avoid meeting the two English teams, Arsenal and Chelsea, still in the running in the competition. The two Premier League clubs are among the main favorites to win the tournament together with Sevilla, the team that eliminated Lazio in the sixteenth. Also avoid Valencia, Villarreal, Eintracht Frankfurt and Zenit, possible roaming mines of this edition of Europa League. The most affordable formations for Inter and Napoli, at least on paper, are Krasnodar, Dinamo Zagreb, Slavia Prague and also the Rennes of former Milan and Torino Niang. Attention then to Benfica: Portuguese training from the great European tradition.
