Brandt Sutton locked in his soccer best bets for Tuesday's Napoli vs. Eintracht Frankfurt UEFA Champions League 2023 match.

Victor Osimhen is healthy for Napoli and has scored in the last seven matches that he's started and he's a big reason why Sutton feels comfortable playing this line all the way down to +100. They've won each of their last four matches on the road entering Tuesday and have outscored opponents 9-0 during that stretch. The latest Frankfurt vs. The Azzurri have been on a mission in 2022-23 after finishing third in league play and crashing out of the Europa League early last season. Napoli have built what looks like an unassailable lead in Serie A and looked dominant in the group stage, winning five of six matches and outscoring opponents 20-6. Sutton finished 2022 as SportsLine's top soccer expert with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players. A subscription also gives you access to other sports content including the Italian Serie A, Europa League, NWSL, [NFL](/nfl/) on CBS, and countless movies and shows.

Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for more than five years. A draw is priced at +250 and the over/under for total goals is 2.5.

Eintracht started the first leg well, with a chance falling to Randal Kolo Muani in the fifth minute.

Playing 11 against 10, Frankfurt were a player lighter in midfield and this added space allowed Kvaratskhelia to one-two his way through the defence and backheel for Di Lorenzo to find the bottom corner. Napoli’s front three are ahead of the ball, which allows Kim to slide Osimhen through. Napoli had six high turnovers in Frankfurt, their most in a Champions League game this season.

Inter Milan, in second place, have racked up six losses so far and it would take a truly spectacular collapse from Napoli for the Milan club to any threat whatsoever over the rest of the season. Some potentially tougher challenges follow over the coming weeks, with fifth-place Lazio next week and sixth-place Atalanta the week after. That loss might have been an uncharacteristic from the typically humble Luciano Spalletti, who fielded a far weaker side than normal for the cup tie. That they did it with such ease only goes to underscore that this is a Napoli the likes of which we have never seen before. Calm, confident control once again one the day for Napoli, with the constant pressing of Victor Osimhen, Hirving Lozano and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia overpowering the home side. Frankfurt started stronger, briefly catching Napoli wrong-footed with Randal Kolo Muani taking an early attempt on goal.

For Napoli, progressing to the UEFA Champions League quarter finals would mark their first ever appearance among Europe's elite eight teams.

On top of that, the trophy winners will pocket another $4.8 million. Napoli’s second goal, which came in the 65th minute, was the result of a concerted effort involving all three lines of Spalletti’s 4-3-3 formation: Midfielder André Zambo Anguissa played a through ball to Kvaratskhelia, who gently put it down before back-heeling it for right back Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s timely run. As often happened this season, Osimhen broke the deadlock by finishing off a counterattack led by Mexican winger Hirving Lozano, whose tireless runs down the right flank earned him the Player of the Match award. What’s more, Napoli’s defense has proven the most solid in Serie A, conceding only 15 goals in 23 rounds. Last night, Spalletti’s men took care of business at Eintracht Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park, bringing home a favorable 2-0 result ahead of the In Serie A, they are currently standing 15 points clear of second-placed Inter Milan thanks to an impressive 20-2-1 season record.

Napoli proudly has some of the most passionate supporters in world football, but even some of the most diehard Neapolitans would not have predicted…

With a convincing 2-0 triumph over Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their last 16 tie yesterday, Napoli proved that they are mature enough to seriously make some noise. Napoli loves to press and has added a new level of intensity, almost matching the standard set by the Premier League. Born in Georgia, the left-winger was destined to become great due to his continued devotion and passion for football. That equates to 51 goals combined, meaning they have been directly involved in 64% of Napoli’s goals in all competitions. If the opposition decides to push a high line, Osimhen possesses the incredible pace to exploit on the counter with his raw ability on the ball. To make ends meet for his family, Osimhen sold bottled water in large traffic, where he would spread his pocket money out on the table to buy food and other resources.

Only Man City duo Erling Haaland and Phil Foden (33) have scored more in the top five European Leagues this season (and in fairness, Haaland has 26 of these.) With 12 goals and 13 assists to his name in all competitions in 2022-23, Kvaratskhelia is just one of four players to have reached over 10 in both categories. The Nigerian hasn’t had the luxury of availability so far this campaign, after suffering a facial injury at the start of the season. On that giddy night, the Azzurri became the first Italian side to score six goals on the road in a Champions League game. Osimhen’s partnership with Kvaratskhelia has been a real threat so far this season. Giacomo Raspadori and Giovanni Simeone moved to the club on loan with the duo bolstering Spalletti’s options in attack, having scored a combined 27 goals in Serie A last season for Sassuolo and Verona respectively. With 62 points from 23 games so far, Napoli are the runaway leaders in Serie A this season. Together the pair have scored 28 goals in Serie A this term. They average more passes per sequence and progress the ball directly upfield slower than any other side in the league. On MD1, they thrashed Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool 4-1 (inflicting the Red’s joint-heaviest defeat in UCL history) and then went on to eviscerate Ajax 6-1 on MD3. Napoli have risen to the top of Italian football by blitzing opposition defences while being utterly dominant at the back. After years of rumours linking him with a move away, defensive colossus and vice-captain Kalidou Koulibaly swapped the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona for Stamford Bridge.
