SSC Napoli lock horns with Qarabag FK on matchday five of the UEFA Champions League league phase on Tuesday. Both sides are in the knockout phase play-off places. Antonio Conte’s Napoli warmed up for their continental commitment with a comfortable 3-1 Serie A home win over Atalanta at the weekend. A David Neres brace and a Noa Lang strike on the cusp of half-time put the Partenopei on their way before Atalanta bagged a second-half consolation through Gianluca Scamacca. Thanks for the submission! Second in Serie A after 12 games, Conte’s side haven’t fared as dominantly in Europe, though, winning only one of four matches. In their previous game, the Partenopei drew goalless at home with Eintracht Frankfurt earlier this month and are 24th in the 36-team standings, with four points from as many games, winning one. Meanwhile, Gurban Gurbanov’s Qarabag are fresh off a 4-2 win at Sumqayit in the Azerbaijani Premier League on Friday. Four different players two in each half were on the scoresheet for the Horsemen, who are three points clear at the top after 11 outings. In Europe, Gurbanov’s side have fared marginally better than their upcoming opponents, though, coming off a 2-2 home draw with Chelsea to move to 15th in the continental standings, with seven points from four matches, winning two.
