Bodø/Glimt have established a position as a team capable of causing trouble to Europe's best and the Norwegian champions will pose a major test for Napoli on matchday three of the UEFA Champions League.
The Serie A side are pointless after two games, while visiting Bodø/Glimt are riding high after beating Borussia Dortmund last week.
Napoli suffered their latest setback domestically at the weekend and boss Massimiliano Allegri has endured his troubles on UEFA Champions League duty in recent times.

Napoli v Bodø/Glimt Prediction
Best Bet: Draw or Bodø/Glimt - Double Result @ 5/4
Napoli are struggling this season. They have suffered UEFA Champions League losses here against Arsenal and away at Villarreal, latterly going down 3-1 despite taking an early lead.
Allegri's side have also lost three from seven in Serie A, including on Saturday facilitating bottom-club Venezia as they earned their first win of the season.
The experienced Allegri has lost eight of his last nine UEFA Champions League matches and Napoli stand on the verge of losing four games on the trot in major European competition for the first time.
Bodø/Glimt are well-established in continental competition now. They were Europa League semi-finalists two seasons ago and beat Inter Milan home and away to reach the last 16 in this competition last season.
They also defeated Atlético de Madrid and Manchester City in the league phase after trading blows with the likes of Juventus and Borussia Dortmund.
Boss Kjetil Knutsen has remained in charge and continues to produce a competent team despite losing key players.
Napoli have managed just two wins from eight games recently and a third may evade them here.
Alternative Bet: Fredrik Sjovold over 0.5 shots on target @ 7/2
Bodø/Glimt play without fear and full-back Fredrik Sjovold is the latest example of that. The 23-year-old was hugely impressive in the win over Borussia Dortmund with his willingness to get forward.
His movement was clever, too, gravitating into central positions from the right-hand side and finding pockets of space. He got the winning goal with a crisp finish on his left foot.
Sjovold was man of the match in the weekend win over HamKam and already has six Eliteserien goal involvements this season, closing in on the nine he managed last season.
He represents some value to work the Napoli netminder.
Napoli v Bodø/Glimt Prediction Bet Builder Tip
Under 3 goals
Under 9 corners
Under 8.5 shots on target
Napoli most shots
Pays 10/1
A high-octane contest in Naples seems unlikely. Both teams have scored in just five of Napoli's last 15 games in all competitions, while seven of their last 10 home games in the UEFA Champions League have yielded under 2.5 goals.
Without their troubles to seek in recent weeks, Allegri's side are likely to be somewhat cautious in their approach.
Across the first two rounds of games, Bodø/Glimt took 13 shots at goal, the second-lowest tally amongst the 36 competing clubs.
Napoli should win the shot count, but a high volume of shots on target seems unlikely.
Napoli have managed just four corners in their two UEFA Champions League outings so far, while for the Norwegians the figures show seven corners in two games.
Fewer than nine corners completes the bet builder in what could be an attritional battle.
