Napoli vs Chelsea Preview

Napoli welcome Chelsea to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Wednesday night for a Champions League encounter that sees the Italian hosts looking to halt a concerning dip in form, while the English visitors arrive brimming with confidence after a string of victories.

The hosts suffered a damaging 3-0 away defeat at Juventus in their most recent outing. Prior to that, they drew 1-1 away at F.C. København in the Champions League. Earlier in this sequence, they secured a 1-0 home victory over Sassuolo and also drew 0-0 at home with Parma. Their other result saw them share the points in a 2-2 away draw at Internazionale, leaving them with just one win in their last five matches across all competitions.

Chelsea have been in formidable form, with their most recent match producing a 3-1 away victory at Crystal Palace. In their previous outing, they won 1-0 at home to Pafos in the Champions League, and before that claimed a 2-0 home win over Brentford. Earlier in this sequence, they lost 3-2 at home to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, though that defeat was sandwiched between victories, having also won 5-1 away at Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup.

The head-to-head record between these sides is evenly split, with each team claiming one victory in their last two meetings. Both victories came on home soil – Chelsea secured a 4-1 home win in March 2012, while Napoli claimed a 3-1 home victory in February 2012.
