- Arsenal are unbeaten away from home across all competitions this season (W3, L0) and have conceded just 0.67 goals per 90 minutes across those three matches.
- Napoli have won six, drawn one and lost three of their last ten matches in all competitions.
- Napoli have won four, drawn one and lost two of their seven home matches across all competitions this term.
Gunners can get their teeth into Napoli
Mikel Arteta's side are in good nick heading into this clash after beating Coventry City 3-0, Aston Villa 1-0 away from home and most recently, Chelsea 2-1, in the Premier League 2026/2027.
The Gunners are playing at a high tempo at the moment and playing some of their best football of the season in terms of their pressing coordination and use of the wings to overload opponents. Arsenal can keep their momentum going at Diego Armando Maradona, where Napoli have won just four of their first seven games this term (D1, L2).
The Partenopei are wobbling a little at the moment after losing their last two matches. Napoli followed up a 0-2 victory at Genoa with a 1-2 home defeat to Calcio Como, before losing 3-2 at Internazionale Milano last Saturday in Serie A 2026/2027.
Open affair expected with goals at both ends likely
Massimiliano Allegri's side have been a different animal this season to the Napoli of a few years ago, and much more in the mould of the Juventus side he used to manage, with a pragmatic shape that puts the balance of the team first and then looks to hit teams on the counter-attack.
That should mean that Arsenal will dictate the rhythm of the game on Wednesday, with Napoli looking to stay compact and try to strike on the break.
That's why we're taking the visitors to secure the win in a game that should see goals at both ends, with the BTTS market feeling very live given the threat the hosts can pose to Arsenal even if they hold the upper hand.
Over 2.5 goals is also live, but at a smaller price, in what should be a sharp, open Champions League encounter. The Gunners are priced at 71/100 to win, but 9/10 on Over 2.5 goals is more appealing in a contest that looks likely to see both teams on the scoresheet.
