Real Madrid have already clinched a spot in the Champions League knockout stage, and the Spanish giants need only a draw at home against Napoli on Wednesday to clinch the top spot in Group C. They've won all four matches in the group stage to this point, including the reverse fixture in Naples, 3-2, in match week 2.

The market has steamed significantly toward Napoli, as Real Madrid were as high as -150 on the three-way moneyline for this match a few weeks ago. The injury report continues to trend negatively for Madrid, while Napoli are expected to have top striker Victor Osimhen back in the starting XI for this match. Napoli will be in a pretty solid position to advance regardless of this match, but a road victory would clinch their round of 16 spot on Wednesday with a match to spare.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid are quite shorthanded in midfield for this match now that Luka Modric has joined Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga on the injured list, and none of them will play for Madrid on Wednesday. Vinicius Junior has also been ruled out for the remainder of the calendar year due to injury, after he was Real Madrid's best player in the reverse fixture.

It's been an up and down year for Vinicius overall, but he had six shots, a goal, nine penalty area touches and a hockey assist for Real Madrid in the victory at Napoli.

We've seen Real Madrid start slow, especially from a defensive perspective, in these spots before. Real Madrid went to Leipzig last season late in the group stage and conceded a ton of early chances before battling their way back into the match and nearly stealing a point.
