Napoli will look to hold on to their second spot in Group C when they welcome bottom-placed Union Berlin in the UEFA Champions League. This match will be played at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday with Napoli second in the group with six points and Union fourth with zero points. Napoli won the reverse leg 1-0 with a goal from Giacomo Raspadori and remain three points behind leaders Real Madrid. They followed that win with a draw against AC Milan and a win against Salernitana in Serie A. With their next match against Real Madrid, the Naples side can’t afford to drop points here or risk leaving their qualification chances until late. They have already lost 3-2 to Real Madrid in this campaign but impressively, that remains their only defeat at home in the Champions League since November 2017.

Union Berlin would love to have victories of any magnitude in their kitty as their recent form continues to slide from poor to worse. They lost 1-0 to Napoli in their last round and followed it with three more losses in the domestic competitions. They are on a run of 12 straight defeats in all competitions, and remain glued to the bottom of their division in Europe. In the Champions League, they started with a 1-0 loss to Real Madrid followed by a 3-2 defeat against Sporting Braga followed by that defeat to Napoli. Time is running out for the visitors and they need to get their scoring woes sorted, having failed to score in five straight matches now.
