- 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His SSC Napoli side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Junior Messias suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Brahim Diaz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
