Manchester City vs Napoli: UCL Preview, Betting Tips & Prediction
In the Manchester City vs Napoli game, all look at Kevin De Bruyne. He was on the Man City team. Now he plays for his new team, Napoli. This is their first game in the UEFA Champions League.
Match News
Man City hope their big 3-0 win over Man United shows they are playing well now. They had a slow start this year. The win will feel good as they start their UCL games. The Citizens won this tournament in 2022/23. But they did not do well last time. They went out in the knockout phase. They lost five of their last seven UCL games (W1, D1). Their boss, Pep Guardiola has lost more to the other boss, Antonio Conte, than he has won (W3, L4).
This may give hope to Napoli, the Serie A winners. They have had a good start. They won their first three league games. One win was 3-1 away at Fiorentina. Their new men, De Bruyne and Rasmus Højlund, both made goals. Both men came from teams in Manchester. The Partenopei are back in the UCL. Conte knows a lot, and this will help. It is his fifth team in this cup.
Head-to-Head History
The two teams have played four times. Man City has won more (W2, D1, L1). All games were in the UCL group stage. Napoli has not won a game in England in a Europe cup (D3, L9).
