Napoli have fired in all of their Champions League games, and if they maintain that run at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea may face too big a deficit to overhaul...
The Blues have won just three of their seven Champions League matches this season despite having taken the lead in all seven games.
Chelsea have won all three home games though, scoring 10 goals without reply.
However, the Londoners have failed to score in each of their last three Champions League home games in the knockout stages.
For the first time since 1966 (four straight wins in the Fairs Cup) Napoli have won three consecutive games in European competition.
Both sides have scored in each of their seven Champions League games this season.
Napoli have the best conversion rate in this season's Champions League, scoring with 22% of their shots.
Six of the seven goals Napoli have shipped this term in the Champions League have been conceded in the first half.
The Blues have drawn Italian opposition in two of the last three seasons at this stage, beating Juventus in 2008-09 and losing to Inter in 2009-10.
Didier Drogba has scored four goals in his last four Champions League appearances, but failed to score in the first leg.
Edinson Cavani (five goals, two assists) has had a hand in seven of Napoli's 13 Champions League goals this season, including all three goals in the first leg.
