Napoli welcome Sporting CP to the iconic Stadio Diego Armando Maradona for their UEFA Champions League 2025-26 league stage match on Wednesday (October 1). Watch the Napoli vs Sporting football match live tonight.

Antonio Conte's Blues fell to a 0-2 defeat against Manchester City in their opener, a match marred by captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo's early red card for a foul on Erling Haaland. Sporting CP, meanwhile, romped to a 4-1 win over debutants Kairat Almaty.

On the domestic front, Napoli are second in the Italian Serie A table after the fifth round, behind AC Milan, separated by goal difference. In fact, the Italian champions conceded the top spot following a 1-2 defeat to Milan in their most recent outing.

Sporting CP, also second in their domestic league table, arrive in Naples on a four-match winning streak, having beaten Famalicao, Kairat, Moreirense, and Estoril -- a run in which they have scored 10 goals.

Napoli Vs Sporting Head-To-Head Record

This marks only the third meeting between the two sides in European competitions, and both matches ended in goalless draws during a UEFA Cup 1989-90 first round tie. Napoli won the subsequent penalty shootout 4-3.

Overall, Napoli have a strong home record against Portuguese opponents, unbeaten in seven, while Sporting have never won away to an Italian side, drawing five and losing 13 of their 18 attempts.

Interestingly, Antonio Conte has faced Sporting on two previous occasions in the Champions League, as Tottenham Hotspur boss, and failed to win either (D1, L1).
