The two clubs are set to lock heads on Tuesday, October 18, at Stadio San Paolo. The Bavarians, despite being away from home, are termed favourites to beat the Italian outfit.
Muller has already warned the Blues ahead of game, saying that the Italians will have their work cut out later this evening. He told that the Bavarians are in best of form this season and will require huge effort from Napoli to dislodge them.
