Despite facing managerial uncertainty and lacklustre displays, Napoli has shown signs of resurgence. Recent results suggest they are regaining their form, with three wins and a draw in their last four matches, both domestically and in continental competitions. Notably, they secured a 1-0 victory over Union Berlin in their previous meeting, although it was not without its challenges.
Union Berlin’s journey in the Champions League has been marred by a series of disappointments. They have endured a string of 12 consecutive losses across all competitions, failing to find the back of the net in their last five games. Their defence was ruthlessly exposed by Eintracht Frankfurt in a 3-0 Bundesliga defeat, leaving them in the relegation playoff spot in the Champions League group.
Napoli’s Champions League form has been a mixed bag, with wins and losses. However, they aim to maintain their home record, where they have never suffered back-to-back losses in the competition. Union Berlin, on the other hand, has yet to secure a point in the 2023-24 Champions League, making their chances of progressing bleak.
Napoli has a significant injury concern with Capocannoniere winner Victor Osimhen recovering from a hamstring issue. In his absence, Giacomo Raspadori will be a key player in the final third alongside Matteo Politano and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Natan, back from suspension, is likely to start in the defence.
Union Berlin’s squad has faced challenges, with injuries and suspensions affecting their lineup. David Datro Fofana, who caused Napoli problems in the previous encounter, has returned to the squad. Alexander Schwolow, Andras Schafer, Danilho Doekhi, and Josip Juranovic may feature despite recent injuries.
Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Natan, Rrahmani, Rui; Zielinski, Lobotka, Anguissa; Politano, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia
Union Berlin: Ronnow; Bonucci, Leite, Knoche; Juranovic, Khedira, Laidouni, Gosens; Becker, Behrens, Fofana
In this encounter, we predict Napoli will maintain their advantage, securing a 2-0 victory over Union Berlin. Although the visitors have shown attacking promise, they have struggled to convert opportunities into goals. A win for Napoli will take them a step closer to the last-16 draw while further diminishing Union Berlin’s hopes of progressing in the Champions League.
Prediction: Napoli 2-0 Union Berlin
