Napoli vs Frankfurt preview, prediction, team news, and head-to-head

The Serie A leaders are doing well domestically and will want to replicate this form in the European competition. Eintracht Frankfurt will typically be coming into this fixture to cause an unusual upset to their hosts.

Antonio Conte's team is on the right course for a back-to-back league title. However, they have managed only one win in the Champions League. The Italian Blues were outclassed by PSV in a 6-2 defeat in their last outing.

Napoli at home are formidable this season and will rely on that fact when they welcome their German rivals. The return of midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne will also boost the team's morale.

The champions league story is the same for Frankfurt, as they also were soundly beaten by Liverpool in a 5-1 defeat. The visitors will heavily rely on picking at least a point in this fixture to keep their campaign alive.

The last time they met was in the round of 16 of the 2022/23 UCL stage, where Napoli defeated  their German opposition both at home and away.

The first leg in Germany ended 2-0 before the Italian club extended their win by another 3-0 at home. Prior to that, the two teams had only met twice in 1994, where Frankfurt were victorious in both legs.

Conte will be pleased with the return of key players like Rasmus Hojlund and McTominay to the squad. The coach has no fresh concerns, except for Billy Gilmour, who picked up a muscular injury in the match against Como.

Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and goalkeeper Alex Meret are the other notable players who will not be available for the Napoli side on Tuesday.

As for Frankfurt, Can Uzun and Oscar Hojlund, brother of Napoli striker, will miss out on an opportunity to face the Italian outfits. Dino Toppmoller will likely employ the services of veteran player maker, Mario Gotze, to add more creativity to the team's midfield.

Napoli: Milinkovic-Savic; Di Lorenzo, Buongiorno, Rrahmani, Spinazzola; Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay; Politano, Hojlund, Neres
