Napoli vs. Liverpool time, TV channel, stream, betting odds for Champions League showdown

Liverpool’s opener in the 2022-23 Champions League takes the Reds to opponents who they have never scored an away goal against in three attempts.

Top of Serie A and unbeaten in their first five league matches, Napoli’s excellent form to begin Luciano Spalletti’s second campaign in charge makes them dangerous for visitors who have dropped points in three of the six games that have made up their own stuttering start to the season.

A return to the form that took Liverpool to the final of the 2021-22 Champions League would be welcome for manager Jurgen Klopp after his players failed to convince again in a goalless draw at Everton in the Merseyside derby on Saturday.

Here’s how to watch the action from Group A, how the starting teams might look and the latest odds.

Napoli vs. Liverpool predicted lineups

Napoli have announced that Victor Osimhen has trained separately from the rest of their squad because of a muscle issue, making the striker, who has scored twice and set up another during the opening weeks of the season, a doubt.

Midfielder Diego Demme is out and winger Hirving Lozano has also trained on his own after having an examination that ruled out facial fractures following his departure on a stretcher during the 2-1 win at Lazio on Saturday.

Napoli predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Meret (GK) — Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Rui — Anguissa, Lobotka — Zielinski, Politano, Kvaratskhelia — Raspadori

Liverpool have issues in midfield, where Jordan Henderson missed the Everton match with a hamstring injury and Fabio Carvalho is a doubt because of a dead leg.

Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be sidelined “for a while” because of muscle injuries, Klopp said before that game, and Thiago Alcantara was due to resume training on Monday, making him unlikely to be ready for Napoli after suffering a problem at Fulham during the first game of Liverpool’s season.

Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher and defenders Ibrahima Konate and Calvin Ramsay are still out.

Liverpool predicted lineup (4-3-3): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Tsimikas — Elliott, Fabinho, Milner —  Salah, Nunez, Diaz

Napoli vs. Liverpool betting odds

Napoli’s longer odds could appeal in light of their home record against Liverpool, winning 1-0 in the group stage of the 2018-19 competition and 2-0 in both sides’ first game the following season.

There have never been more than two goals in this fixture in Naples, with Napoli scoring in the 82nd, 90th and 92nd minutes since Liverpool first visited for a goalless draw in the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League group stage.
