Match Preview
Napoli and Arsenal begin their Champions League campaigns with a heavyweight meeting at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday. The hosts return to European action under Massimiliano Allegri, while last season’s runners-up Arsenal arrive in excellent form, having won five and drawn one of their previous six matches across all competitions.
The clubs last met in the 2018/19 Europa League quarter-finals, when Arsenal won both legs without conceding, including a 1-0 victory in Naples through Alexandre Lacazette’s goal. The Gunners have now won three of their four previous meetings with Napoli, keeping clean sheets in each victory.
Napoli remain formidable on their own ground in this competition. They have lost only two of their last 21 Champions League home matches, winning 12, and have never suffered consecutive home defeats in the European Cup or Champions League. Their record against English opposition in Naples is also strong, with eight victories from 13 major European encounters.
Arsenal, however, produced an exceptional Champions League campaign last season. They reached the final without losing a match in normal time, recording 11 wins and four draws, while conceding a competition-low seven goals across 15 fixtures. They were also unbeaten in all seven of their Champions League away matches.
The visitors have now scored in 14 consecutive matches across all competitions, although Italy has historically proved a difficult destination. Arsenal have won only one of their last six Champions League away games against Italian opposition and failed to score in five, albeit that lone victory came earlier this year with an impressive 3-1 success at Inter.
There is therefore little separating two sides with strong European credentials. Napoli’s excellent home record and Arsenal’s historical difficulties in Italy point towards a tight encounter, but Arteta’s side arrive with greater recent consistency and a defensive structure that proved exceptionally difficult to break down throughout last season’s competition.
