Porto and Napoli both need points in the Champions League
FC Porto are pointless after three Champions League games and need a result against Napoli on Wednesday night.
The hosts have lost to Manchester City, Real Betis and PSV Eindhoven. They have not scored in either of their two home games.
Napoli sit 22nd in the league phase on 3 points, with one win from three. The top 24 go into the play-offs, so this is a game both sides badly need.

How Porto and Napoli got here
Porto opened with a 2-0 home defeat to Manchester City on 8 September. They lost 3-2 away to Real Betis on 14 October, then 1-0 at home to PSV on 20 October. That makes two goals scored and six conceded, with an average of 39.7% possession across the three games.
Napoli lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal on 9 September and 3-1 away to Villarreal on 13 October. They then beat Bodo/Glimt 4-3 at home on 20 October. They have scored five and conceded seven, and have not kept a clean sheet.
Rotation and pressure
Rotation is unlikely to be a factor. Porto have no points to protect and nothing to save their legs for, so expect the strongest side available.
Napoli have more of a selection problem than a choice. With so many defenders and midfielders out, the visitors will field close to whoever is fit.

TIP 01
Correct Score: 2-1
Porto have conceded 2.0 goals per game and Napoli 2.33, and both have conceded in all three matches. A one-goal margin with goals at both ends fits those numbers. The risk is Porto's blank record at home, which could turn this into a 1-1.

TIP 02
Over 2.5 Goals: Over
Napoli have conceded 7 in three and scored 5, so their games average 4 goals. Porto's defence has let in 6. Napoli's makeshift back line makes the over our pick, though Porto's low shot volume (9 per game) is the caveat.

TIP 03
Both Teams to Score: Yes
Napoli have scored in all three away and home games bar one, and Porto have conceded in every match. Napoli average 4.33 shots on target. Porto's two home blanks are the reason this is not a certainty.

TIP 04
Anytime Goalscorer: L. Lucca
Lucca is the likeliest Napoli attacking threat up front with Neres and Alisson Santos both out. Napoli average 1.67 goals per game and he should be close to the chances. He is not on the injury list.

TIP 05
Double Chance: Home or Draw
Porto at home against a side missing nine players is the safer angle. Napoli have lost both their away trips and home against Arsenal, so they can be beaten. The risk is Porto's three straight defeats.

Porto are the side that most need the points and face a depleted Napoli back line. This anchors the builder. It sits comfortably with goals at both ends.
Yes
Both Teams to Score
8/13
Both defences have conceded in every game. It complements the home win by allowing a 2-1 type scoreline, rather than needing a clean sheet.
L. Lucca
Anytime Goalscorer
13/5
This leg backs Napoli to score, which supports the BTTS leg directly. It does not clash with a Porto win.
