Manchester City vs Napoli Preview and Team News
Manchester City Team News
After two consecutive losses in the Premier League, Man City finally broke a bad streak and grabbed a convincing 3-0 victory over Manchester United. The hosts dominated the entire match, and Erling Haaland managed to record a brace.
The 2022/23 Champions League winners will now look to avoid last season’s bad performance. Pep Guardiola’s men finished 22nd in the league phase, which saw them playing against Real Madrid, and eventually the Cityzens were eliminated in a lacklustre display.
Man City will be without Omar Marmoush, Mateo Kovačić, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Aït-Nouri, and Marcus Bettinelli. John Stones is doubtful, and even if fit, we don’t expect him to start.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Napoli (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Reijnders, Rodri; Silva, Foden, Doku; Haaland.
Napoli Team News
Napoli have had a superior start to the season, winning all three matches they’ve played so far. In the previous round, they faced Fiorentina away and took a comfortable 1-3 win, thanks to goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Rasmus Højlund, and Sam Beukema.
They currently sit top of the standings. Antonio Conte’s men will return to the European top-tier after missing it the previous year. However, now they have a much stronger squad, and the former Man City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will return to the Etihad.
Romelu Lukaku is still out with a thigh injury, and his absence will be a serious blow for the visitors. Amir Rrahmani and Nikita Contini are also sidelined.
Napoli predicted lineup vs Manchester City (4-1-4-1): Milinković-Savić; Spinazzola, Buongiorno, Beukema, Di Lorenzo; Lobotka; McTominay, Anguissa, De Bruyne, Politano; Højlund.

Manchester City vs Napoli Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Man City to Win
- Odds: -143 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Manchester City 2-1 Napoli
Man City’s form has been far from ideal recently. Nevertheless, the last round demonstrated that at home, the Cityzens are still a formidable force and can beat anyone by a big margin.
The teams have met four times in history. Manchester have won the last two times, while Napoli earned a single victory and a draw back in 2011.
The guests may be in good form and demonstrate a strong defensive display, but it’s unlikely to be enough against a motivated City. They’ll probably have their chances, but eventually the hosts should be able to claim all three points here.
Manchester City vs Napoli Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: -136 (Tonybet)
Defensive frailties have tormented City this season. That was clear against Brighton and Tottenham, where they allowed two goals. Napoli will try to capitalize on these mistakes, as they have fast and agile players in the front line.
The head-to-head stats also speak in favour of a prolific performance. All four games have ended with an exchange of goals. While they were played years ago, we don’t expect this one to be a cagey affair.
Erling Haaland is in great shape and will be eager to increase his tally. The recently signed Rasmus Højlund found the back of the net on his debut, so another high-scoring contest could be on the cards.
