2026-2027 Champions League: Napoli vs. Bodo/Glimt, Probable Lineups and Where to Watch It on TV

After a nightmare week, Napoli returns to Champions League action in need of points to avoid getting into further trouble in a league campaign that’s already been complicated for the Azzurri, who lost their first two matches—first to Arsenal and then to Villarreal. The league loss in Venice, meanwhile, has fueled doubts about Massimiliano Allegri and his players: their chance to get back on track is the home match against Bodo/Glimt, scheduled for 9 p.m. on Tuesday at the “Maradona” Stadium. Live on Sky Sport via satellite and streaming on Now.

At a press conference, Allegri asked the media to ease up on their criticism of the players, taking responsibility for the losses to Villarreal and Venice and, more generally, for the difficult start to the season. The Livorno-born coach has only one lineup question mark regarding Scott McTominay: the Scot, still far from the form that Neapolitan fans have come to expect, is expected to start, but his compatriot Gilmour is eager to take his place.

Bodo/Glimt, now a regular in the Champions League, began the group stage with a heavy 5-0 away loss to Bayern, but went on to beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at home in their next match thanks to a decisive goal by Sjovold, a fullback capable of posing a threat even up front. Knutsen’s men aim to turn the home-field advantage on its head by exploiting the speed of their three forwards: Mvuka (who scored Saturday in the league during the 2-0 victory at HamKam), Helmersen, and former Milan player Hauge.
