2026-2027 Champions League: Porto vs. Napoli—Probable Lineups and Where to Watch It on TV

On Wednesday evening at 9 p.m., the Estádio do Dragão will host the match between Porto and Napoli, part of Matchday 4 of the Champions League group stage. The game will be broadcast exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. The Portuguese side is still searching for its first points in the competition following losses to Betis, PSV, and Manchester City, while Napoli comes into the match having secured its first European victory against Bodø/Glimt but is going through a rough patch and needs to regain confidence on the international stage as well.

Farioli is expected to deploy a 4-3-3 formation, with André Silva (who played for Milan during the 2017–2018 season and in one match in the summer of 2019) leading the attacking trio, flanked by Pepê and Borja Sainz. Froholdt and Gabri Veiga are expected in midfield, while the defense should be led by Bednarek and Kiwior in front of Diogo Costa.

Allegri has to deal with several absences in the back line and is expected to opt for a 3-5-2 formation, with Beukema, Rrahmani, and Rafa Marín in front of Meret. In midfield, Gilmour is the favorite to take De Bruyne’s spot, as De Bruyne is not yet at full strength due to an ankle issue. Up front, Hojlund—who has recovered from the flu—is expected to start alongside Giovane.
