Napoli suffered their second domestic defeat at the weekend, where they lost 1-0 to Torino. They head to Philips Stadium with a mixed European form of their own. The Partenopei [LW], who are in 19th place following a 2-1 win over Sporting CP on UCL MD 2, have lost each of their last three Champions League away games, and another defeat here would equal their longest losing streak on the road in the competition—four matches, last recorded between February and December 2017. Ironically, that earlier sequence also ended with a defeat to Dutch opposition, a 2–1 loss at Feyenoord. Historically, though, Napoli’s most emphatic European performance came in the Netherlands, when they thrashed Ajax 6–1 in Amsterdam in October 2022 — still their biggest ever away win in Europe and the only time they’ve scored six or more goals on the road. A 4—1—4—1 formation with Rasmus Højlund, who scored both goals in the win against Sporting, is expected in attack.
