• Fixture: Napoli vs Qarabag

• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT
• Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona

Napoli's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with a draw against Eintracht Frankfurt and a heavy loss to PSV Eindhoven. They'll be looking to bounce back with a strong performance at home, where they've shown they can win, as seen in their victory over Sporting CP. Expect Napoli to come out with a high press and try to dominate possession, leveraging their midfield strength to control the game's tempo.

Qarabag, on the other hand, have had some impressive results, including a draw against Chelsea and a win over Benfica. They've shown they can compete with top teams, but their away form has been less consistent. Qarabag might sit back and look to hit Napoli on the counter, using their pace and flair in attack to exploit any gaps in Napoli's defense. It should be a tight, tactical battle.

Napoli's recent form has been mixed, with a draw against Eintracht Frankfurt and a heavy defeat to PSV Eindhoven. However, they did manage a win against Sporting CP at home, which could give them confidence going into this match.

The loss to Manchester City away shows they can struggle against top teams, but at home, they might be able to turn things around. Napoli will need to be more clinical in front of goal and tighter at the back to secure a win against Qarabag.
