Napoli return to the Champions League looking to put last season’s disappointing league‑phase showing behind them, having finished 30th after winning just two of their eight games.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side head back to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday night off the back of a damaging weekend collapse at San Siro, where they surrendered a two‑goal lead to Inter to make it consecutive Serie A defeats.
Napoli have lost their last three Champions League matches against English opposition and have managed just one win in their last ten games in the competition proper, with the Azzurri priced at 18/5 to claim a much‑needed victory.

Arsenal extended their perfect Premier League start on Sunday with a 2–1 victory over Chelsea, and Mikel Arteta’s side once again look equipped to challenge deep into Europe after last season’s run to the final.
The Gunners are still chasing their first Champions League crown, having fallen agonisingly short against PSG on penalties in June, and with domestic glory already secured last season, this is the trophy their supporters crave most.
Arteta’s men have a strong record against Italian opposition, winning seven of their last ten meetings (D1, L2), and they remain unbeaten on Matchday One in each of their last nine European campaigns. Arsenal are the firm odds‑on favourites at 3/4 with William Hill to begin their Champions League season with a win.
