Champions League line-ups: Napoli vs. Bodo/Glimt

Champions League line-ups: Napoli vs. Bodo/Glimt Napoli in crisis hope Kevin De Bruyne, Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund can get them on the Champions League mark board against giant-killers Bodo/Glimt. It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples at 20.00 UK time (21.00 CEST). You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Roma-Slovan Bratislava on the Liveblog.

Their Serie A record hasn’t been much better, suffering a shock 1-0 defeat to rock bottom Venezia on Saturday, putting Max Allegri under huge pressure. Alisson Santos suffered a thigh strain during that match, joining Antonio Vergara, David Neres, Costantino Favasuli and Alessandro Buongiorno on the absentee list. The good news is the return of Frank Zambo Anguissa for his first start since September 5 to complete the midfield with De Bruyne and McTominay. Matteo Politano and Noa Lang flank Hojlund in a 4-3-3 formation, but De Bruyne must accept Allegri’s decision to turn him into a playmaker.

They lost 5-0 at Bayern Munich in the opening game, with Odin Bjortuft sent off, but beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at home. Bjortuft returns from suspension this evening, though Hakon Evjen, August Mikkelsen and Magnus Riisnaes are still out of action, with Ole Didrik Blomberg not at 100 per cent either. Jens Petter Hauge is a familiar face from his time playing for Milan, where he scored in a 3-1 win against Napoli in November 2020.
