Porto and Napoli take the field at 8:45 p.m. for their match on Matchday 4 of the Champions League group stage. Allegri’s team arrives in Porto with several players out but is under pressure to win, having earned just three points in its first three matches of the continental competition. The Neapolitans also need to bounce back from their weekend loss to Juventus. The Dragons are in even worse shape: they currently sit in last place with zero points after three losses in three games.

Porto’s front three consists of Pepé, André Silva, and Borja Sainz. Farioli relies on Pablo Rosario in midfield, with Gabri Veiga and Froholdt flanking him.

Allegri decides to revert to a 3-5-2 formation, with Hojlund as the lone striker and De Bruyne behind him. In midfield: Anguissa, Gilmour, and McTominay; on the wings are Politano and Vergara. A three-man defense featuring Beukema, Rrahmani, and Rafa Marin in front of Meret.
