Napoli Team News

In the previous round of Serie A, Lazio defeated Salernitana away 0:2. They took the lead in the 13th minute of the game, when Stanislav Lobotka played past Giacomo Raspadori, and he put the ball into the net. They doubled their advantage in the 82nd minute with a goal by Eljif Elmas, assisted by Mathias Olivera, and after that goal, there was no further change in the score.

They currently occupy the fourth position in the table with 21 points won, two more than the fifth-placed Atalanta, while they are in second place in the Champions League with six points, three less than the first-placed Real Madrid. In the last four competitive games, they recorded three wins and one draw.

Once again, Napoli should have just one injury in mind for Wednesday’s game, albeit a significant one, as Capocannoniere award winner Victor Osimhen is recovering from a muscle injury and is not yet expected to return.

In his place, striker Giacomo Raspadori will look to score for the fourth game in a row, joining Matteo Politano and Khvich Kvaratskhela in attack, but Eljif Elmas’ goal should not be enough to secure a place in the North Macedonian midfielder’s squad. Further back, Brazilian defender Natan returns from a one-match domestic suspension and is likely to start a third successive Champions League game, in place of Leo Ostigardo.

Union Berlin Team News

Union Berlin recorded another defeat in a row at the weekend, losing to Eintracht Frankfurt at home 0:3. Already by the 14th minute, the visiting team had a doubled advantage, and they set the final score in the 82nd minute.

It was their twelfth defeat in a row in all competitions, and they currently occupy only 16th position in the table with only six points won, the same number as Mainz, which is in the relegation zone. They are in last place in the Champions League without any points won.

In terms of injured players, the Irons’ crisis hit a new low last month when on-loan Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana, who was causing Napoli plenty of trouble at the Olympiastadion, was suspended after refusing to shake his manager’s hand after a defeat. But bridges have since been rebuilt, as Fofana played the full 90 minutes against Frankfurt, while Alexander Schwolow, Andras Schafer, Danilho Doekhi, and Josip Juranovic missed that game, although the latter could be fit to feature on Wednesday.

Midfielder Rani Khedira is also set to provide fresh legs in midfield after being suspended for three domestic league games, and a recognizable starting line-up should be fielded despite the visitors’ current state.
