Union Berlin vs Napoli Prediction and Betting Tips
Union Berlin and Napoli are back in action in the UEFA Champions League when they go head-to-head at the Olympiastadion Berlin on Tuesday (October 24).
The hosts were left empty handed once again, as they suffered a 3-0 thrashing against VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Urs Fischer’s men have lost eight games across competitions since kicking off their Bundesliga campaign with consecutive wins over Mainz and Darmstadt.
Union now turn their attention to the Champions League, where they're rooted to the bottom of Group C and will look to pick up a morale-boosting result.
Napoli, meanwhile, returned to winning ways on Saturday, putting three past Hellas Verona to claim a 3-1 win in Serie A. Before that, Rudi Garcia’s men were on a two-game losing streak, losing 3-2 at home to Real Madrid on October 3, five days before losing 3-1 against Fiorentina.
With three points from a possible six, Napoli are third in Group C of the Champions League, level on points with second-placed Braga.
