It’s been a tough start to the Champions League campaign for Napoli after two defeats, one draw, and one win. With the home side in 24th position out of 36 places, they will be keen to move towards a guaranteed qualification spot here.

Qarabag are performing above expectations in the Champions League, a good win away at Benfica on the opening matchday gave them a promising platform, but they’ve followed that up with some solid performances - the visitors currently sit on 7 points after four games.

📈 Napoli v Qarabag Form & Stats

After winning Serie A sparked jubilant scenes for Napoli last season, the following campaign has been slightly more difficult, they currently sit in 3rd position, but crucially just two points behind league leaders, Roma. The home side have faced some issues with scoring goals of late, going scoreless in three consecutive matches before their win at the weekend.

The Champions League has been a source of disappointment for Napoli, a sobering 6-2 defeat against PSV left them shellshocked. While a 0-0 home draw against a leaky Frankfurt defence will be regarded as a missed opportunity.

The visitors are a dominant force in the Azerbaijani Premier League, often winning the league title in emphatic circumstances. Qarabag are well placed to achieve the same fate this season, currently sitting top of the league and amassing 26 points from 11 games.

Despite the obvious step down in quality at domestic level, Qarabag are showing a real ability to compete on the European circuit in recent years. Despite suffering a 3-1 defeat to Atletico Bilbao, Qarabag have managed wins against Benfica and FC Copenhagen, while also picking up a very notable 2-2 draw against Chelsea.

📔 Napoli v Qarabag Formation & Team News

Antonio Conte has evolved during his tenure at Napoli, retreating away from his typical five at the back. There’s now less reliance on wide overloads, and more focus on breaking teams down through the centre of the pitch.

Napoli commonly adopt a 4-3-3, although this can morph into a 4-2-3-1 to facilitate a number 10 on occasion. Napoli employ a high intensity press, but it’s a measured and strategic level of pressure, rather than a full throttle assault on the opposition.

Rasmus Hojlund came off in the 74th minute against Atalanta after painfully clutching his hamstring, it’s unlikely he will feature given the short turnaround in fixtures. The hosts have five other definite absentees, many of them key players. Frank Anguissa, Kevin De Bruyne, Billy Gilmour, Romelu Lukaku, and Alex Meret will not feature. Amri Rrahmani and Leonardo Spinazzola remain injury question marks.

Under the stewardship of Gurban Gurbanov, Qarabag’s tactical approach is a progressive and expansive attacking style of play. Against higher quality opposition in Europe, quick and dynamic transitions are a hallmark of their success. Qarabag have good technicians who can counter attack and play difficult passes with precision.

There’s a tactical flexibility about their approach depending on the opposition, which is understandable given the lower level of the Azerbaijani Premier League. Qarabag generally adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Qarabag currently have a relatively clean bill of health, with Kady Borges and Shahrudin Mahammadaliyev the only injury question marks.
