Porto vs Napoli prediction 04.11.2026 | Champions League

After Liga Portugal last season, Porto again seems to be the best team in the country. They are excellent so far, with ten wins in ten rounds and eight points more than the next team in the standings, Benfica. Francesco Farioli's team has big ambitions in the Champions League, too, but they lost all three games and will have to do much better to progress to the knockout phase. Porto played well recently with three consecutive wins. Last weekend, they won 4-0 at home against Estoril. The hosts dominated throughout the game, and their victory was never in doubt.

Porto's head coach, Francesto Farioli, was very pleased with a victory over Estoril. He commented, "It's always good to score goals and not concede, even though we allowed some chances we shouldn't have. I'm happy with this victory. The mentality was very good, and we achieved an important result to continue our work."

Porto will be Oskar Pietuszewski and Vasco Sousa, while William Gomes is questionable for the upcoming tie.

Napoli are not at their best this season. They currently sit eighth in Serie A, already trailing the top four by a significant margin. Massimiliano Allegri's team has also struggled in the Champions League, with only three points so far. Napoli have won only two of their last six matches. In the previous game, they lost 2-0 on the road against Juventus. The teams were pretty even for most of the tie, but the hosts' better efficiency was enough to leave the visitors empty-handed.

With Massimiliano Allegri suspended, assistant coach Marco Landucci led the team against Juventus. After the defeat, he commented, "We played poorly in the second half, and Juventus deserved to win. When you lose, you keep quiet and go home. It's true that we had some injuries, but that's no excuse."

Napoli have huge problems with injuries. Stanislav Lobotka, Alessandro Buongiorno, Leonardo Spinazzola, David Neres, Alisson Santos, Benoit Badiashile, Constantino Favasuli are out for Wednesday. Also, Kevin De Bruyne, Mathias Olivera, and Giovanni Di Lorenzo suffered injuries against Juventus, and the club still needs to determine whether they can recover in time for Wednesday.
