Porto vs Napoli

This is Matchday 4 of the Champions League league phase. Porto sits 34th out of 36 teams and desperately needs a win to keep their hopes of a top-24 finish alive. Napoli (22nd) is seeking to consolidate a playoff spot. Tactically, Napoli coach Massimiliano Allegri has repositioned Kevin De Bruyne as a deep-lying playmaker, which creates chances but leaves the defense exposed to counter-attacks—a weakness Porto must exploit at the Estádio do Dragão.
