Full analysis
Probable line-ups
Absences
- Stanislav Lobotka — out (long-term injury)
- Benoît Badiashile — out (thigh, about six weeks)
- Leonardo Spinazzola — out (thigh)
- Amir Rrahmani — back from injury
Form
Porto have lost all three UCL games (0-2 v City, 2-3 at Betis, 0-1 v PSV) but are 10/10 in the league, though they have conceded in seven straight matches. Napoli have 3 points (0-1 v Arsenal, 1-3 at Villarreal, 4-3 v Bodø) and drew 3-3 with Roma.
Context
Napoli play at Juventus on Sunday night, with Allegri suspended and Landucci on the bench, leaving them little recovery time. Farioli's Porto are rested after a Saturday win.
What's at stake
This is close to a must-win for both: Porto have zero points and Napoli three.
Betting market
Porto around 2.15-2.25, draw around 3.3, Napoli 3.15, over 2.5 around 1.75-1.80: a slight home edge, which matches our call.
From the model to the call
No statistical model for this competition. Odds give about 1.45-1.15; Napoli's short rest and midfield absences move it to a final 1.5-1.1.
