Team News

Union Berlin
Napoli
  • Union Berlin remain without injured pair Andras Schafer and Laurenz Dehl.
  • Alexander Schwolow is closing in on a return though was unlikely to start even if fit.
  • Napoli boss Rudi Garcia is sweating on the fitness of Eljif Elmas, Juan Jesus and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa.
  • Giacomo Raspadori is expected to deputise for the injured Victor Osimhen on the frontline.

Prediction

  • Union Berlin are on a dire run of form having lost eight on the bounce in all competitions coming into the welcome of Napoli. They have conceded in the 94th minute against both Real Madrid and Braga to lose their opening two Champions League matches.
  • Napoli returned to club duties with a 3-1 win at Verona on Saturday. The Italian side did head into the international break following back-to-back defeats to Real Madrid and Fiorentina.
  • Napoli are unbeaten on their travels this season, winning four of six, and they'll believe they can earn another win in Germany.
