Chelsea travel to Napoli for their final Champions League league phase match this week.
The pair clash at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 20:00 on Wednesday evening.
Liam Rosenior’s side head into the tie in eighth place in the table, but they’ll need a win in Naples to give themselves the best chance at remaining in the top eight to secure last 16 qualification.
On MD7, the Blues sealed a 1-0 win over Pafos thanks to Moises Caicedo’s 78th-minute strike.
That result saw them climb up the rankings in the Champions League winner betting odds market. They are now rated as the eighth favourites to win the competition, priced at 18/1.
Since last week’s continental triumph, the West Londoners claimed a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday, extending their winning run to three straight matches.
Ahead of their visit to Italy, Chelsea have signed Yisa Alao from Sheffield Wednesday, who will not be involved in the action, while out-of-favour defender Axel Disasi is wanted by West Ham.
Napoli, managed by ex-Blues boss Antonio Conte, are down in 25th place in the table.
This means that they are not currently in line to qualify for the Champions League knockouts.
To give themselves the best chance of doing so, they must beat Chelsea on Wednesday. Even with a win tough, their advancement to the knockout phase playoffs is not guaranteed.
Their MD7 clash away at Copenhagen ended in a disappointing 1-1 stalemate. They followed that result up with a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Juventus in the Italian top-flight on Sunday.
Gli Azzurri have now won just one of their last six matches across all competitions.
Napoli vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips
1. Rasmus Hojlund – Over 1.5 Shots
Hojlund plays as Napoli’s central striker and is their main attacking focal point.
He consistently takes multiple shots per game, often from inside the box or on counter opportunities.
Why: Central striker role and high involvement support multiple shot attempts.
2. Scott McTominay – Anytime Goalscorer
McTominay frequently arrives late into the box from midfield.
He has scored consistently in recent Champions League matches.
Why: Late runs into scoring positions increase goal potential.
3. Eljif Elmas – Over 0.5 Shots on Target
Elmas operates in an advanced midfield role and is involved in most attacking build-ups.
He often looks for shooting opportunities from distance or near the penalty area.
Why: Central attacking role and shooting tendency support an on-target attempt.
4. Alejandro Garnacho – Over 1.5 Shots
Garnacho plays as Chelsea’s left-sided attacker and frequently cuts inside.
He consistently takes shots from both inside and outside the box.
Why: Wide attacking role and shot involvement support multiple attempts.
5. Moises Caicedo to be Shown a Card
Caicedo is tasked with disrupting Napoli’s midfield and stopping attacks.
His physical style and defensive responsibilities make tactical fouls likely.
Why: Defensive duties and match intensity increase booking probability.
6. Match Total – Over 2.5 Goals
Both teams have strong attacking lineups and play aggressively in European competition.
Open play and counter-attacks from both sides make multiple goals likely.
Why: Attacking personnel and game context favour a multi-goal outcome.
