FC Porto - SSC Napoli

Can FC Porto harness home advantage to steady their Champions League campaign when they host SSC Napoli on 4 November 2026? The hosts look to build on a dominant 4-0 domestic win over Estoril, relying on an expected XI featuring Gabriel Veiga and Samuel Aghehowa to dictate the tempo. Porto have struggled for consistency in this competition recently, suffering narrow defeats to PSV Eindhoven and Real Betis, but their defensive unit led by Diogo Costa will be tasked with containing a visiting side that has shown both defensive fragility and attacking flair.

SSC Napoli arrive at Estadio do Dragao facing a significant injury crisis, with key figures including Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Kevin De Bruyne sidelined. Despite a recent 2-0 league loss to Juventus, the visitors demonstrated their offensive potential in a 4-3 thriller against Bodoe/Glimt earlier in the group stage. With Scott McTominay expected to anchor the midfield, Napoli must tighten up at the back to survive this matchday 4 encounter.
