Panionios is a very tricky place to visit, they are a very tough side to beat at home and Napoli will be given a very difficult match today. The home side looked very impressive last week against Serbians OFK Belgrade winning 3-1 and they are a team who do like to play football and they have a good blend of youth and experience in their squad. They love the underdog status given to them and in Labros Choutos they have a player who has been revitalised after a dreadful last few years, he is a real goalscorer and he is a threat to the Napoli defence. This is Napolis first competitive match of the season and that is a worry considering Panionios have had two good matches against OFK Belgrade already, two competitive matches is not a lot but its better than Napolis zero. Napoli really struggled away from home towards the backend of the season, losing five of their last seven matches and this will be a very tough trip for them.
