Napoli will be looking to take another crucial step forward in the Champions League in their away clash with a plucky Union Berlin.

The match between Die Eisernen and the Partenopei kicks off at 20:00 UK time at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Napoli took victory in their first European outing this season, dispatching SC Braga 2-1, but a tough defeat to Champions League royalty Real Madrid came in the second match, leaving them on the backfoot in Group C.

Union have not started their first ever Champions League campaign well, falling to both Real Madrid and Braga, but they’ll be dreaming of an upset victory in the German capital this evening.

Rudi Garcia’s side are without the injured Juan Jesus, Andre Zambo Anguissa and Victor Osimhen. Eljif Elmas is also in doubt due to a physical issue.

Union cannot count on Andras Schafer and Laurenz Dehl, both of whom are sidelined with injuries.

Probable line-ups for Union Berlin vs Napoli

Union Berlin (3-5-2): Ronnow, Knoche, Bonucci, Diogo Leite, Trimmel, Tousart, Khedira, Haberer, Gosens, Volland, Behrens.

Napoli (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Natan, Olivera, Cajuste, Lobotka, Zielinski, Politano, Simeone, Kvaratskhelia.
