Liverpool has had a successful run in the transfer market with the acquisition of top players from around the world. They will continue their friendlies against Athletic Bilbao on Monday. Sevilla, on the other hand, will take on Saudi Arabia’s Al-Qadisiyah while Napoli and Casertana will go head-to-head. We anticipate an exciting football game from the teams as they prepare for the start of the new season. Let's analyze the teams’ forms, key stats, and my opinion on the upcoming game. 

Napoli vs Casertana

The defending Italian champions continue their preparations for the new season as they take on Casertana in another friendly game. Napoli, who won last season’s Serie A with just a single point above their closest rivals, Inter Milan, will prepare for another game against Casertana. Brest defeated Napoli in their last friendly game on Sunday, and the Friendlies continue to remain a testing ground for Antonio Conte, who is on a charge to retain the Serie A title. In transfer news, Napoli remains in advanced stages for Girona full-back Miguel Guiterez. Casertana, on the other hand, faces a big challenge in Napoli on Monday, and it will take more than guts to overpower the Italian Champions on Monday. We go with Napoli for the win.

Liverpool vs Athletic Bilbao

Liverpool will play their final two pre-season games against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield as they wrap up the friendlies and prepare for the Community Shield against Crystal Palace on August 10. The Reds defeated Yokohama F. Marinos by 3 goals to 1 after that 2-4 defeat to AC Milan, and they will hope they can end the Friendlies in style. Liverpool have had a fair pre-season so far, with two victories and a single loss from the three friendly games played. With the Community Shield just around the corner, Arne Slot can be trusted to name a strong squad consisting of at least 8 first-team players to prepare them and get the boys warmed up for the Community Shield Clash against Crystal Palace. Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, have lost three consecutive friendlies, with the most recent defeat being a 2-1 defeat against Racing Santander.
