Why Arsenal are favourites for the match
The bookmakers favour the visitors: an Arsenal win is available at 1.75 (around a 54.4% probability without margin), while the draw is at 3.70 and a Napoli win at 4.80.
- Arsenal begin their European campaign after Premier League wins over Aston Villa (1:0) and Chelsea (2:1).
- Napoli have lost their last two competitive matches — against Como (1:2) and Inter Milan (2:3) — which limits confidence in the home side.
Form and Line-up Napoli
Against Inter Milan, Napoli had 16 shots, seven of them on target, but lost 2:3. Head coach Massimiliano Allegri noted that the team went 2:0 up but made too many mistakes in the final 20 minutes.
However, Napoli are disciplined in home Champions League matches: in their last 10 home games in the competition, they have never received more than two yellow cards.
Key numbers:
- Napoli and their opponents have received no more than four yellow cards in each of their last 10 home Champions League matches.
- There have been a maximum of three offsides in 9 of Napoli's last 10 home Champions League matches.
- In 8 of Napoli's last 10 home Champions League matches, their opponents have had no more than five shots on target.
Probable Napoli line-up (4-3-3): Alex Meret – Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Rafa Marin, Leonardo Spinazzola – Frank Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, Kevin De Bruyne – Matteo Politano, Rasmus Hojlund, Alisson Santos
Absentees: Geovane, Scott McTominay (injured)
Form and Line-up Arsenal
Arsenal travel to Naples two days after their match against Chelsea, creating a congested schedule. However, the London side are not accommodating away from home in Europe: they have not lost in normal time in 9 of their last 10 away Champions League matches.
Another feature of Arsenal's European away matches is their restrained tempo: there have been a maximum of 10 shots on target in 9 of their last 10 away games in the competition.
Key numbers:
- There have been a maximum of four yellow cards in total in each of Arsenal's last 10 home Champions League matches.
- No more than 23 fouls have been recorded in 8 of Arsenal's last 10 Champions League matches.
- Arsenal's opponents have had no more than five shots on target in 9 of the last 10 Champions League matches.
Probable Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): David Raya – Ben White, Ezri Konsa, Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori – Declan Rice, Bruno Guimaraes – Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Christos Tzolis – Kai Havertz
Absentees: William Saliba (injured), Cristian Mosquera (doubtful)
