Napoli (Home)
- Napoli have won two and lost three of their last five matches.
- Antonio Conte’s Napoli have had a clear impact on the side since the former Juventus and Chelsea boss took the reins in June 2024.
- His Napoli are a compact, trigger-happy pressing unit that morphs between a four at the back and three-at-the-back with the ball, relying on structure and explosive transitions to catch their opponents off-guard.
- They have struggled away from home in recent weeks, losing 2-0 to Manchester City away in the Champions League and 2-1 to AC Milan away in Serie A. Our Napoli vs Sporting Clube de Portugal prediction will take these recent results into account.
Sporting Clube de Portugal (Away)
- Sporting Clube de Portugal have won their last five games across all competitions.
- Sporting Clube de Portugal boss Rui Borges has done a similar job at Sporting since he took over in December 2024, blending the club’s traditional 3-4-3 with a variety of midfield setups that make them difficult to play against.
- They’re equally at home playing in a structured way or sitting deep and pressing in waves, which they will be aiming to do against Conte’s disciplined Napoli side.
Key Players
- Luis Suarez has scored three times in four games and Sporting have scored 10 goals in their last four matches.
- Trincao is Sporting’s danger man in the Champions League, netting twice in their opening group match.
