High-quality action is set for Group C in the Champions League on Wednesday, as Napoli look for a second straight win in the competition to put pressure on Real Madrid. Union Berlin will be the visitors to the Italian champions, as they look to end a three-game losing run in the European competition.
Before Betting On Napoli vs Union Berlin
Napoli remain in a very strong position to finish second in the Group C standings, which would ensure their progression through to the next round. The Italian giants continued their fine form in the European competition on matchday three, as they recorded a 1-0 win in Germany against Union. However, they were forced to be patient in that fixture, as they managed just six shots, hitting the target on one occasion.
Union will certainly have a point to prove this week, as they are yet to show their best level of performance in the Champions League. They come into this match on their longest ever losing run in Europe, as they have suffered defeats in each of their last four. Meanwhile, they are one of just two sides in this season’s Champions League that remain pointless at this stage.
Napoli’s record in the group stage deserves a lot of respect this week, as they have suffered just two defeats from their last 15 matches. Over that period, they have averaged an impressive 2.4 goals per game, scoring a total of 36 goals in 15 matches over that period.
Union will be playing just their second ever away match in the Champions League on Wednesday. In their first, they were narrowly edged out in Spain, losing 1-0 to Real Madrid. But, they will need to show more in the final third in Italy if they are to avenge their recent poor record in the competition.
Napoli vs Union Berlin Offshore Odds & Pick
Napoli’s home record in the Champions League is staggering, as they have suffered just a single defeat from their previous 14. That could be a key trend this week, as we expect the Italian giants to land maximum points against their German rivals.
