One of the most tantalizing fixtures of the Champions League’s opening round will be staged at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday as Napoli host Arsenal.
Both clubs kick off their European campaigns hoping for improvements on last season’s performance. Arsenal, who finished runners-up, are desperate to clinch their maiden Champions League title, while Napoli, who were knocked out in the league phase, simply must reach the knockout stages.
Despite trips to Naples never being straightforward, Arsenal are clear favorites for the upcoming clash. After demolishing Manchester City in the Community Shield, they have began their Premier League title defense with three successive wins, including a hard-fought triumph over Chelsea last weekend.
Things have been tougher for Napoli, who are under the guidance of Massimiliano Allegri following Antonio Conte’s exit. They have lost their last two matches to Como and Inter, but the latter was particularly bruising as the Partenopei surrendered a two-goal lead in their 3–2 loss at San Siro.
