FC Porto vs Napoli Predictions

• Porto have conceded in seven of their last nine matches
• The hosts have shipped six goals in three Champions League games this term, losing each of them
• Napoli have conceded in 10 of their last 12 matches
• There have been 11 goals shared across Napoli’s last two games in Europe

Rough start for Porto

Porto’s return to the Champions League hasn’t gone to plan, with the Portuguese champions falling to defeats against Manchester City, Real Betis and PSV.

The hosts have a perfect record domestically, but they’ve found the step up to Champions League level difficult. They’ve conceded six times across those three defeats, and Napoli will pose some threat at the Dragao this week.

Porto have conceded in seven of their last nine matches, and they meet a Napoli side that has been involved in some thrillers of late. The Partenopei had scored 11 times in three matches before their weekend loss at Juventus, and their last two Champions League matches have brought a 3-1 defeat at Villarreal and a 4-3 win over Bodo Glimt.

The Serie A side have failed to keep a clean sheet in six matches. Max Allegri was supposed to bring a steely defensive foundation, but Napoli have conceded in 10 of their last 12 across all competitions. They do have threats in attacking areas, and they should prove too strong for a Porto side that has struggled to rise to the occasion in Europe this term.
