Kick-off on October 1, 2025, at 22:00.

In the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Napoli will host Sporting at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The teams previously met in Italy in the Round of 32 of the 1989/90 UEFA Cup. Both matches ended 0–0, and the hosts advanced after winning the penalty shootout 4–3. The Partenopei lost their opening match of the current stage to Manchester City at the Etihad, 0–2. As early as the 21st minute, captain and defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo received a straight red card for a last-man foul, which reduced the team’s chances of success. Sporting, meanwhile, hosted Kairat in mid-September and crushed the debutants 4–1. Trincão scored twice, while Geovani Kenda recorded a goal and an assist, earning a goal+assist performance.

The hosts have lost only once in their last seventeen home Champions League matches — 2–3 to Real Madrid. During that span, the Partenopei have achieved positive results at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona against top opponents such as Barcelona (twice), Liverpool (three times), and PSG. Previously in the Champions League, the Azzurri have hosted two teams from Portugal’s Primeira Liga — Benfica (4–2, 2016/17) and Braga (2–0, 2023/24).

Sporting has earned four victories in their last fifteen away games in Europe’s premier competition. During that stretch, the Lions failed to score only away to Barcelona, Manchester City, and Borussia Dortmund (twice). In the 21st century, the Portuguese club has suffered five defeats in six Champions League matches played on Italian soil. The sole exception was their 1–1 draw against Fiorentina in the 2009/10 qualifying final in Florence. Learn how to watch the online broadcast of the match on MEGOGO.
