Porto will host Napoli in the fourth round of the main stage of the Champions League. The hosts have not scored a single point in the tournament so far. Will we be able to achieve anything in the home match against the opponent from Italy on November fourth? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
FC Porto
Current form
Porto is the current Portuguese champion and is clearly focusing on the domestic championship again, where the hosts are confidently leading. In 10 matches, the dragons have scored a maximum of 30 points and are five points ahead of their nearest competitor, Benfica. In the last round, Francesco Farioli's team scored a crushing victory over Estoril (4:0), and before that they beat Academico Viseu in the League Cup (1:0).
At the same time, the hosts are still failing in the Champions League. In the overall table, the club occupies the penultimate place and is ahead only of the obvious outsider in the person of Slovan Bratislava. In European Cup matches, the Portuguese lost to Manchester City (0:2), Betis (2:3) and PSV (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Smalling, Souza and Gomez will miss the match due to injuries. Gabriel and Prpich are out of the application.
Interesting betting trends
In the last three matches, the hosts have won dry victories.
Porto has never played in a draw this season.
Approximate composition: Costa - Zaidu, Kivior, Bednarek, Costa - Veiga, Rosario, Froholdt - Sainz, Andre Silva, Pepe
SSC Napoli
Current form
Napoli is used to fighting for the Scudetto, but now the visitors occupy only the eighth place in Serie A. Even from the sixth place, the guests are already six points behind. In the last round, the Neapolitans lost without much chance on the road to Juventus Turin (0:2). In the Champions League, the visitors' situation is not much better. In the first two matches, Maximiliano Allegri's team lost to Arsenal (0:1) and Villarreal (1:3), and only in the third round did the Italian team manage to achieve a home victory over Norwegian Buden Glimt (4:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
Alisson Santos, Badiascile, Buongiorno, Nares, Di Lorenzo, Favasuli, Lobotka, Oliveira and Spinazzola remain in the infirmary. Marianucci is out of the application. The appearance of De Bruyne and Milinkovic-Savic on the pitch is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
The team has lost three of the last four away matches.
In the last four face-to-face matches, Napoli has never won.
Porto has already made a number of mistakes in the Champions League, but there is still time to fix the situation. Now the Portuguese champion will play on his own field with the frankly stalling Italian Napoli. Moreover, the guests have huge injury problems, so with their fans, the dragons simply have to win. We believe that high motivation will help Port achieve its first victory in the tournament.
Due to the problems with the squad, the guests are unlikely to choose an attacking tactic for this match, besides, Porto is now playing very reliably in defense and has never missed in three matches. The hosts themselves will also probably try to play cautiously, but they obviously don't want to lose points for the fourth time in a row. We would venture to assume that there will not be a large number of heads here.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 2.15 minutes.
Betting on corners
A bloodless Napoli hasn't been scoring corners as often lately. In none of the last four matches have the guests served more than four corners. Most likely, according to this indicator, the advantage will be on the side of Porto.
Our betting tip is an Asian head start (-1.5) on the corners at the Port in 1.96
