- Napoli have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches.
- Arsenal have won five of their last five games, including their previous three away fixtures.
Gunners on a roll
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are a high-tempo side that like to press opponents and pinch the ball back as quickly as possible when they lose it. Meanwhile, Massimiliano Allegri's Napoli are a more compact, pragmatic team, who prefer to sit in a medium block and catch opponents in transition by using vertical play in the final third.
This contrast in styles should lead to some chaos in the transition phase on Wednesday night, with the Gunners trying to pin Napoli back while Gli Azzurri look to spring forward through the gaps. With a five-game winning run in the bag, the visitors are favoured at 1.71 to nick it in Naples.
Arsenal have won each of their previous five, including a 3-0 home win over Coventry City, a 1-0 away win at Aston Villa and a 2-1 victory at home to Chelsea in the Premier League 2026/2027. They have seven wins, one draw and two defeats in their last 10 in all competitions.
Napoli are in mixed form after losing their two previous games, a 1-2 home defeat to Calcio Como in Serie A 2026/2027 and a 3-2 reverse away at Internazionale Milano in Serie A 2026/2027.
Expect an end-to-end game at Diego Armando Maradona
Gli Azzurri have six wins, one draw and three defeats in their last 10 overall, so their form is not spotless despite the recent defeats. However, they are a dangerous side in Naples, where they have won four, drawn one and lost two in all competitions, conceding nine goals in total - an average of 1.29 per game.
Arsenal's strong recent form suggests they can take control of the game and win on the road, but Napoli's threat at home makes Both Teams to Score a real live angle at 1.8.
Over 2.5 goals, priced at 1.9, is our main pick for the game, while the correct score prediction is an away win with both teams to get on the scoresheet.
