JAKARTA - Napoli will return to meet Union Berlin on the fourth matchday of Group C of the 2023/2034 Champions League. The match will be held at Diego Maradona Stadium on Thursday, November 9 at 00.45 WIB.

Napoli, who won over Union Berlin in the previous match, are certainly more seeded in this match. Especially now that Il Partenopei sits second in Group C standings with a collection of 6 points. They are only three points away from Real Madrid at the top of the standings.

Meanwhile, Union Berlin still has not been able to win in Group C of the 2023/2024 Champions League. Of the three matches that have been passed, Union has always lost to Real Madrid, Braga, and Napol

Although the condition of potential opponents is not seeded, Napoli still has to be wary of their steps, which are still struggling to find the best performance like last season. However, Il Partenopei is still seeded to win over Union Berlin.

That's because they also have provisions after winning over Salernitana in the Serie A match last weekend.

Napoli must also carefully choose players in the match against Unior Berlin because in this match there are a number of spearhead players who are not expected to be able to appear like Victor Osimhen, who is still injured.

This situation makes coach Rudi Garcia likely to re-place Giacomo Raspadori in front, like against Salernitana.

Of the three matches that have been played in the 2023/2024 Champions League Group preliminary round, Il Partenopei managed to win 2 and lost 1. They scored 5 goals and conceded 4 times.

In the first meeting against Union Berlin, Napoli managed to win with a score of 0-1. In that match, Union Berlin, which appeared in front of its own supporters, could be forced to survive throughout the match.

Quoted from the official UEFA website, Urs Fischer as Union Berlin coach still praised his team for being able to defend well in the first meeting. He hoped they could maintain the performance, then steal points in Naples.

"We defended well, and didn't give Napoli much chance. We tried hard to close the space in the defense area, and managed to make the opponent only make one shot. Unfortunately, it resulted in a goal against us," said Urs Fischer.
