Porto host Napoli at the Estadio do Dragao on Wednesday night, and our Porto vs Napoli predictions side with the visitors to take advantage of the hosts’ dismal start to the Champions League (8.00pm UK time).
Few sides have endured a worse start to the league phase than Porto, whose campaign is yet to get going, while Napoli will fancy their chances of taking something from this trip.
Anthony Eadson has assessed the game. As a result, he leans towards the visitors, pointing to Porto’s alarming struggles in front of goal at home.
Premium Tips
Our two Premium Tips for Porto vs Napoli back the visitors to take control against a host short on goals and belief.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Napoli double chance | 4/5 (bet365) | Porto have been dreadful in this competition, losing all three games and sitting without a point to show for their efforts. Just as worrying for the hosts, they have not scored in either of their home games, beaten by PSV and Manchester City on their own turf. Napoli are far from convincing themselves. Still, one win and a sharper attack give them the edge in a meeting of two struggling sides. The double chance covering a Napoli win or the draw takes the sting out of a tricky call. Therefore, 4/5 with bet365 is a fair price for the safer way in. |
| Kevin De Bruyne to assist | 11/4 (bet365) | Kevin De Bruyne remains Napoli’s creative hub. Moreover, against a Porto side that has conceded in all three of its games and looked fragile at the back, he should find the openings to set up a team-mate. Napoli carry the greater threat in the final third, and with Porto likely to push forward in search of a first home goal of the campaign, space will appear for De Bruyne to exploit. The Belgian is a regular supplier of assists, so 11/4 with bet365 for him to tee up a goal holds plenty of appeal on the night. |

How Porto go into the game
Porto arrive at the Estadio do Dragao in urgent need of a result, having lost all three of their league-phase games to sit without a point on the board. Just as concerning for the hosts, they have not scored in either home game, beaten 1-0 by PSV and 2-0 by Manchester City in front of their own supporters.
The visit of Napoli offers Porto a chance to finally get going, but belief looks thin on the ground. Porto have mustered only two goals all competition, both in a 3-2 defeat on the road at Real Betis. Meanwhile, they have looked vulnerable at the back throughout.
How Napoli go into the game
Napoli have blown hot and cold in the competition, with one win and two defeats leaving them on three points. The visitors will fancy their chances here, however, given the state Porto find themselves in.
Napoli come in off a much-needed 4-3 home win over Bodo/Glimt, a result that eased the pressure after back-to-back defeats. Their away form remains a concern, with a 3-1 loss at Villarreal their only previous trip. However, Porto’s toothless attack should hand the visitors a platform to build on.
Porto vs Napoli head-to-head
These two clubs have never crossed paths in European competition, so there is no head-to-head record to call upon before Wednesday night. The Dragao hosts a genuine first meeting.
Porto vs Napoli predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Napoli to win | 11/4 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Porto’s winless, pointless start hands the initiative to a Napoli side with more cutting edge. |
| Both teams to score – No | 5/4 (Betway) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Porto have not scored at home all competition, so a third home blank would be no surprise. |
| Under 2.5 goals | 11/10 (Sky Bet) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Two low-scoring, out-of-sorts sides meet, with Porto managing only two goals across the phase. |
| Porto 0-2 Napoli | 20/1 (bet365) | ⭐⭐ | A composed away win to nil fits a Porto side toothless in front of their own fans. |
Porto vs Napoli score prediction
Napoli carry the greater threat and should have enough to see off a Porto side struggling badly at both ends. With the hosts yet to score at home this season, a clean-sheet away win looks the likeliest outcome. Score prediction: Porto 0-2 Napoli.
