Napoli vs Sporting CP UEFA Champions League 2025-26 Live Streaming: Napoli host Sporting CP at the legendary Stadio Maradona in Naples on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, with kick-off at 21:00 CET (20:00 BST). Antonio Conte's team enters this match after being defeated 2-1 in the Serie A against AC Milan and has a few defensive issues to deal with. Major defenders Pasquale Mazzocchi and Luca Marianucci are not included in the UEFA squad, Giovanni Di Lorenzo is suspended, and Amir Rrahmani and Mathias Olivera are both injured. Leonardo Spinazzola will play out of position at right-back.
Despite internal tensions, Kevin De Bruyne is set to start after a heated reaction to being substituted against Milan, signaling Conte’s trust in the Belgian midfield maestro. Vanja Milinkovic-Savic is likely to replace Alex Meret in goal, while Sam Beukema may fill in for Marianucci in central defense. Napoli’s attacking lineup features Rasmus Hojlund leading the line, supported by Politano, Anguissa, De Bruyne, and McTominay.
Sporting CP will play in a 4-2-3-1 setup with Rui Silva between the posts, a four-man defense comprising Vagiannidis, Debast, Inacio, and Araujo, and holding midfielders Hjulmand and Morita. Trincao, Quenda, and P. Gonçalves will support the single striker Suarez upfront.
