PSV Eindhoven vs Napoli Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Champions League 2025-26

The previous confrontation between these clubs ended in favour of the Rood-witten.

PSV Eindhoven are all set to battle it out against SSC Napoli for their league phase third round fixture of the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 edition. Philips Stadion will witness this interesting clash.

The Rood-witten at home will be looking for their first win of the current UCL campaign. They fell prey to Union St.-Gilloise in their opening game of the European competition. PSV Eindhoven were held to a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen in their last fixture. They are going to be at home for their next one and will be keen on using it to their advantage.

The Partenopei are coming in after their shocking defeat against Torino FC in their Serie A fixture. This might bring down their confidence levels. Their performance in the ongoing UEFA Champions League has been average. SSC Napoli lost their first fixture against Manchester City, but made a comeback after defeating Sporting CP.

Players to Watch

Guus Til (PSV)

Guus Til is coming in after scoring a brace for his side in their previous league game. PSV secured a win only because of the goals scored by Til. He is going to play a crucial role in the final third for PSV in their upcoming fixture. With the help of his fellow teammates, he can cause issues for Napoli.

Rasmus Hojlund (Napoli)

The Denmark international will be one of the important assets for Napoli in the attacking front. Rasmus Hojlund was not a part of the squad in the previous fixture and the Partenopei faced a defeat. His performance in the last few matches for club and country has been good. He is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
