Union Berlin vs Napoli: Preview, tips, odds, live stream

The group stage of this year’s Champions League enters its third round. Union Berlin will be looking to get their first points and surprise Napoli. What to expect from the match, where to watch the live stream and what are the odds?

Union Berlin vs Napoli analysis, preview

The teams are in completely different mindsets at the moment. The home side have had a bad start to the season, pulling a streak of 8 losses in a row in all competitions. In the Bundesliga table, they are up to a terrifying 14th place. At the weekend they lost to Stuttgart (0:3).

Napoli, even without Osimhen, beat Verona 1: 3. Kvaratskhelia scored twice and Politano added a goal. After the national break, the Italian team forgot about their 2 previous losses. They are currently in 5th place in Serie A, 5 points behind Inter.

Naples again without Osimhen

Just like at the weekend, the visitors from Naples will miss the team’s top scorer Osimhen due to a thigh injury. The players were able to prove in the match against Verona that they can do without him and they can go to Berlin without any fear of scoring goals.

Apart from the Nigerian striker, they can’t count on defensive midfielder Anguissa in Naples. The Cameroonian, like Osimhen, did not start the last game, so his absence will not be news for the coach.

On the home side, the absences are also the same as at the weekend. Juranovic, Dehl and Schafer will definitely be missing. Only on the day of the game will it be decided if Kaufmann, Rousillon and Schwolow will be able to play.

Group C

The Group C table is currently dominated by Real Madrid, who beat both of today’s opponents. Union Berlin fell at the Santiago Bernabéu only at the very end when Bellingham scored. Naples also failed to win their home game against the same opponent (2: 3), mainly because of the great English midfielder.

However, unlike the home team, the Italian side managed to beat Braga (1:2) and is now 3 points ahead. The home team had already led 2:0 against the Portuguese team, but couldn’t hold on to the lead and lost 2:3. In the final showdown, Union may miss these points.

Union Berlin vs Napoli odds, betting tips

The favourite is clearly Naples. The Italian side is great in transition and in the end. A punter who is absolutely convinced about Naples can try his luck with a bet on the Italians’ handicap of -1.5. Nobody knows what tactics the home team will go into the match with, if they decide to play an open duel, the Over 2,5 is definitely in place.
