Form & tactics
Napoli: Managed by Antonio Conte, the hosts play a physically demanding 3-4-2-1 but have struggled for fluidity in Europe. They sit 25th in the league phase and have drawn 67% of their last six matches. Without key creators like Kevin De Bruyne, they rely heavily on set-pieces and the vertical running of Scott McTominay to generate chances.
Chelsea: Under Liam Rosenior, the Blues have found a strong rhythm, winning four of their last five games. They operate in a 4-2-3-1 that prioritizes high shot volume (averaging 13.6 per game) and quick transitions. Chelsea have been resilient away in Europe, remaining unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 Champions League outings, though they remain open at the back.
Formation & team news
Napoli
Expected shape: 3-4-2-1
Confirmed absences: Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Billy Gilmour, Frank Anguissa, David Neres, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
Chelsea
Expected shape: 4-2-3-1
Confirmed absences: Romeo Lavia, Levi Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo, Dario Essugo.
Key matchups
- Scott McTominay vs Moises Caicedo: With Napoli’s strikers injured, McTominay is their primary goal threat (9 goals) from midfield. Caicedo must track his late runs into the box.
- Rasmus Hojlund vs Wesley Fofana: Hojlund provides the physical outlet for Napoli’s direct play. Fofana will need to manage the aerial duels to stop Napoli bypassing the midfield.
- Chelsea Wingers vs Napoli Wing-backs: Napoli’s 3-at-the-back system leaves space in the wide channels, which Chelsea’s pacey wingers (like Garnacho) will look to exploit on the counter.
Key stats
- Chelsea matches have seen Over 2.5 Goals in 8 of their last 10 games.
- Both teams average over 12 shots per game (Napoli 12.76, Chelsea 13.63).
- Napoli are conceding an average of 1.71 goals per game in the Champions League this season.
- Chelsea have a 100% hit rate for 5+ cards in their last 10 matches.
- Chelsea have scored Over 2.5 goals in 100% of their last 3 away Champions League matches.
Suggested bet
The stats point heavily towards a high-scoring affair. Chelsea have hit Over 2.5 Goals in 80% of their recent matches and have scored at least 3 goals in all of their last three Champions League away days. Combined with Napoli’s defensive fragility in Europe (conceding 1.71 per game), the data supports a game with chances at both ends.
18+ only. Gamble responsibly.
