UCL official line-ups: Napoli vs. Qarabag

UCL official line-ups: Napoli vs. Qarabag

Napoli are still in the midst of an injury crisis, so Rasmus Hojlund is again flanked by David Neres and Noa Lang in the Champions League against giant-killers Qarabag.

It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 20.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Bodo/Glimt-Juventus on the Liveblog.

The Partenopei had been struggling badly over the last few weeks, prompting Antonio Conte into a tactical reshuffle to get around the number of injuries.

He is still missing Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa, Billy Gilmour, Kevin De Bruyne, Leonardo Spinazzola and Romelu Lukaku.

The new 3-4-2-1 formation is therefore confirmed with Hojlund supported by Lang and Neres, just like the 3-1 victory over Atalanta on Saturday.

The only change is Matias Olivera stepping in for Miguel Gutierrez on the left flank.

Napoli’s record in the Champions League so far this season is a 2-1 win over Sporting CP, defeats to Manchester City and PSV Eindhoven when down to 10 men, and a 0-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Lorenzo Lucca was suspended for that game, but is available on the bench here.

Qarabag have been a real surprise, eliminating Ferencvaros in the qualifiers, then earning victories over Benfica and FC Copenhagen.

They lost 3-1 away to Atletico Madrid, but then held Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea to a surprise 2-2 draw.

The team from Azerbaijan has Camilo Duran as the centre-forward, supported by a trio of Leandro Andrade, Abdellah Zoubir and Emmanuel Addai, the latter having been benched against Chelsea in favour of Kady.

Napoli: Milinkovic-Savic; Beukema, Rrhamani, Buongiorno; Di Lorenzo, Lobotka, McTominay, Olivera; Neres, Lang; Hojlund

Qarabag: Kochalski; Silva, Mustafazade, Medina, Jafarguliyev; Pedro Bicalho, Jankovic; Leandro Andrade, Zoubir, Addai; Duran

Ref: Marciniak (POL)

Quick take: Match context: momentum and small details could decide this one, especially set-pieces and transitions. Form and fitness will matter; expect managers to rotate carefully around the congested schedule. Continental stakes raise the intensity, where away goals no longer apply but margins still feel razor thin. We’ll keep an eye on confirmed details as the story develops from official sources.
