Champions League: Napoli vs Union Berlin – probable line-ups

Napoli will be looking to take a decisive step forward in their Champions League group with a win over a struggling Union Berlin.

The match between the Partenopei and the Bundesliga outfit kicks off at 17.45 UK time at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples.

Rudi Garcia’s side currently sit second in Group C after three matches, picking up wins over Braga and Union and a tight loss to Real Madrid, who hold a three-point lead at the top of the group.

Napoli’s only absence is star striker Victor Osimhen, heaving reducing the firepower available to the defending Serie A champions.

Union sit bottom of the group after three matches, suffering defeats in all their European outings this term. Things have been no better in the Bundesliga, with the Berlin outfit sat 16th in the table with just six points.

Urs Fischer’s side are without Danilho Doekhi, Josip Juranovic and Andras Schafer.

In their first meeting this season, Napoli edged out a tense 1-0 win over Union, a game that’ll give the German side some confidence.
