Porto host Napoli at the Estádio do Dragão on Wednesday 4 November 2026 (kick-off 20:00 UK time) in League phase matchday 4 of the Champions League. Both clubs need a result, and the hosts need one more urgently.
Where the two sides stand
Porto are 34th in the league-phase table with no points from three games and a goal difference of -4. Only Slovan Bratislava, 36th on -12, have a worse record at the bottom.
Napoli are 22nd with one win from three, three points and a goal difference of -2. That is inside the places from ninth to 24th, which lead to the knockout play-offs. The top eight go straight through. PSG lead the table with three wins, nine points and a goal difference of +9.
Form and the numbers
Porto have lost their three matches in the form guide: 1-0 against PSV, 3-2 at Betis and 2-0 against Manchester City. They have scored 0.67 goals per game and conceded two, and they have not kept a clean sheet.
Napoli have a win and two defeats. They beat Bodø/Glimt 4-3, lost 3-1 at Villarreal and lost 1-0 to Arsenal. They average 1.67 goals per game, but they concede more than Porto at 2.33 per game. They have no clean sheets either.
The season averages in short:
- Goals per game: Porto 0.67, Napoli 1.67
- Conceded per game: Porto 2, Napoli 2.33
- Points per game: Porto 0, Napoli 1
- Clean sheets: Porto 0, Napoli 0
- Yellow cards: Porto 4, Napoli 8
The contrast is clear. Napoli score more but also leak more, and they have collected twice the cards. Porto have been short of goals, with two in three games.
Head-to-head
There are no recent meetings between the clubs in our records, so there is no head-to-head to lean on. Neither side has a recent win, draw or defeat against the other to point to.
MFF prediction
With both sides struggling to keep the ball out of their own net, goals at either end are possible. MFF's match model still gives Porto a narrow edge and predicts a 1-0 home win. It puts the chances at 42% for a Porto win, 25% for a draw and 33% for a Napoli win.
