Match Facts
Napoli won 1-0 in the reverse fixture against Union Berlin, despite only attempting six shots and hitting the target once. Indeed, their six shots and 0.25 expected goals are both the lowest figures by a team to win a match in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Union Berlin are on their longest losing run in major European competition, losing each of their last four such games, and all three in the UEFA Champions League this term. They’re one of only three teams to have not picked up a single point in the group stage in 2023-24, along with Benfica and Royal Antwerp.
Napoli have only lost two of their last 15 group stage games in the UEFA Champions League (W10 D3), while they’ve scored an average of 2.4 goals per game in this period (36 goals in 15 games).
This will be just Union Berlin’s second away game in the UEFA Champions League, with the first being a 1-0 defeat against Real Madrid on MD1 this season. The German side had just four shots in that game (0.24 xG) and faced 32 attempts from the opposition (3.8 xG), yet conceded the game’s only goal in the 94th minute through Jude Bellingham.
Napoli have only lost one of their last 14 home games in the UEFA Champions League (W9 D4), although that one defeat did come in their first home match of the current campaign against Real Madrid. The Italian side have never previously lost consecutive home games in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League.
Union Berlin could become the first German side to lose their first four matches in the UEFA Champions League, with FC Schalke 04 the only other team to have lost their first three.
Union Berlin are the team who have played the highest percentage of their passes long (17.7%) in the UEFA Champions League this season, while they’re the lowest ranked team in the competition this term for both possession average (33.1%) and pass completion rate (72.6%).
Giacomo Raspadori has been directly involved in eight goals in 10 UEFA Champions League appearances for Napoli (five goals, three assists). In fact, his minutes per goal or assist average is the best of any player in the competition since the start of last season (min. 300 minutes played), with the Italian scoring or assisting every 45 minutes in this period.
If Piotr Zielinski scores or assists in this match (currently on 10 – seven goals, three assists), he’ll move into third place for most direct goal involvements for Napoli in the UEFA Champions League, behind only Dries Mertens (24) and Lorenzo Insigne (13).
Since the start of last season, only Jack Grealish (31) has generated more shots after a carry in the UEFA Champions League than Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (28 – 19 shots, nine chances created). In addition, only Vinícius Júnior (71) has made more take-on ending carries than the Georgian winger (56) in this period.
