Match Facts
The two previous meetings between Napoli and Sporting CP have both finished 0-0, with both coming in the first round of the 1989-90 UEFA Cup first round (Napoli progressed on penalties).
Napoli have won all four of their UEFA Champions League matches against Portuguese sides, beating Benfica twice in 2016-17 and Braga twice in 2023-24 (all in group stage meetings).
Sporting CP have never won away to an Italian side in any European competition, drawing five and losing 13 of their 18 total attempts (including qualifiers). Their only clean sheet in this run did come away to Napoli, however, drawing 0-0 in September 1989 in the UEFA Cup.
Napoli boss Antonio Conte has faced Sporting CP on two previous occasions in the UEFA Champions League, failing to win either match while in charge of Tottenham (D1 L1) in the 2022-23 group stage. Only against Barcelona and Real Madrid (four each) has he overseen more games in the competition without winning.
Sporting CP will be looking to win their opening two games in a UEFA Champions League campaign for just the second time, having previously done so in 2022-23 under Rúben Amorim (3-0 v Eintracht Frankfurt and 2-0 v Tottenham Hotspur).
In terms of average age, Sporting CP had the second youngest starting XI on MD1 of the current UEFA Champions League campaign (24y 255d). Opponents Napoli, meanwhile, had the fourth oldest across the 18 games played in the opening matchday (29y 189d).
Napoli only had one shot in their defeat to Manchester City last time out in the UEFA Champions League, with that coming from defender Sam Beukema. The Dutchman also completed the most passes (38), won the most duels (6) and made the most clearances (9) for the Italian side at the Etihad.
Trincão scored a brace in Sporting CP’s opening UEFA Champions League campaign (v Kairat), as many goals as he had netted in his first 22 appearances in the competition combined (2). The 25-year-old also completed seven dribbles in that match; his most in a single Champions League outing to date.
Kevin De Bruyne is set to make his first European appearance for Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. His only previous European outing there came back in November 2017, assisting one of four goals for Manchester City in a 4-2 win there in the UEFA Champions League.
Sporting CP’s Pote completed 100% of his dribbles against Kairat on MD1 (7/7); the most by a player in a UEFA Champions League game with a 100% success rate since Manchester City’s John Stones in the 2023 final versus Internazionale (also 7/7).
