Wednesday evening brings a crucial Champions League fixture as Napoli prepare to host Union Berlin at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Napoli, sitting comfortably in second place in Group C, aim to keep the momentum going after two wins in the group stages, with their only setback coming against Real Madrid.

At the other end, Union Berlin are yet to get off the mark, suffering three losses that leave them at the foot of the table.

In their last match-up in late October, Napoli managed to squeeze past Union Berlin with a 1-0 win, thanks to a well-placed shot from Giacomo Raspadori.

Despite losing, Union Berlin showed they could hold their own, creating more opportunities to score than the Italian side.

Napoli is coming off a recent 2-0 victory over Salernitana in their domestic league, Serie A.

Meanwhile, Union Berlin's latest Bundesliga match saw them fall 3-0 to Eintracht Frankfurt, a result they'll be keen to bounce back from.

Napoli has a strong track record at home in the Champions League, avoiding defeat in most of their recent matches.

With top scorer Victor Osimhen unavailable, Napoli's other forwards will need to step up to keep the goals coming.

Union Berlin is in a tough spot, enduring a series of consecutive losses and fighting against relegation at home.

They're heading into this match with the aim to turn things around and will be putting everything into this encounter to try and secure their first points of the campaign.

The match is shaping up to be a real contest, with both teams hungry for a win.

The midfield battle will be key, and while Napoli is favored to take the victory, Union Berlin is expected to push them all the way.

The Italian side might have the edge, but expect Union Berlin to make them work for every opportunity.

Forebet predicts a narrow win for Napoli, with the match likely to be a close contest.
