Napoli 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Napoli 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Tuesday, 04 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, that was a bit of a stalemate, wasn’t it? Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt played out a goalless draw at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with neither side managing to break the deadlock. Given Napoli’s recent form, you might have expected them to push harder for a win, but they seemed content to settle for a point. Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, will be pleased to have held their own away from home, extending their unbeaten run in this competition.

The game was a bit of a chess match, with both teams cautious not to make a costly mistake. Napoli had their chances, but Eintracht Frankfurt’s defence stood firm. It’s surprising that Napoli couldn’t find a way through, especially with their home advantage, but credit to Eintracht Frankfurt for their disciplined performance. No standout players on the night, but both teams will take positives from this result as they look ahead to the next round.

Looking at the stats, Napoli had the lion’s share of possession with 64%, but they struggled to turn that into clear-cut chances. They managed five corners compared to Eintracht Frankfurt’s three, but it was the visitors who were more effective with their dribbling, boasting a 40% success rate compared to Napoli’s 28%.

Despite their possession dominance, Napoli couldn’t quite find the cutting edge needed to break down Eintracht Frankfurt’s defence. The visitors, with less of the ball, were more efficient in their use of it, which perhaps explains why they were able to hold out for a draw. The yellow card count was relatively low, with Napoli picking up two and Eintracht Frankfurt one, suggesting a fairly disciplined affair.

The key moments in this match were few and far between, but there were a couple of notable incidents. Napoli’s Amir Rrahmani picked up a yellow card in the 50th minute, which was the first real flashpoint of the game. Later, in the 90+6th minute, Napoli’s Miguel Gutiérrez also received a yellow card, adding a bit of late drama.

Substitutions were the other main talking points, with Napoli making two changes and Eintracht Frankfurt making four. Napoli brought on M. Politano for David Neres in the 65th minute and S. Lobotka for N. Lang in the 74th minute, trying to inject some fresh legs into their attack. Eintracht Frankfurt, meanwhile, made their first change at the same time, with J. Bahoya coming on for A. Knauff, followed by three more late substitutions.

Napoli lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Vanja Milinković-Savić in goal and a back four of Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Alessandro Buongiorno, and Miguel Gutiérrez. The midfield trio of Frank Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, and Scott McTominay provided a solid base, while Matteo Politano, Rasmus Højlund, and Eljif Elmas led the attack. Despite their strong lineup, Napoli struggled to break down Eintracht Frankfurt’s defence, perhaps due to a lack of creativity in the final third.

Eintracht Frankfurt opted for a 5-3-2 formation, with Michael Zetterer between the sticks and a back five of Rasmus Kristensen, Nnamdi Collins, Robin Koch, Arthur Theate, and Nathaniel Brown. The midfield was anchored by Mario Götze, Hugo Larsson, and Farès Chaïbi, with Jonathan Burkardt and Jean-Mattéo Bahoya up top. This setup allowed them to soak up pressure and hit Napoli on the counter, which they did effectively to secure a valuable point away from home.

Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match goes to Eintracht Frankfurt’s Michael Zetterer. The goalkeeper was solid throughout the match, making crucial saves to keep Napoli at bay. Despite picking up a yellow card in the 89th minute, Zetterer’s performance was key to Eintracht Frankfurt’s clean sheet and their point on the road.
