See where both clubs stand on the live Champions League table.
FC Porto face Napoli on Wednesday 4 November 2026. Kick-off is 9:00pm Nigerian time (WAT). It is a League Phase Matchday 4 fixture.
Porto have lost all three League Phase games so far, including a 1-0 home defeat to PSV on Matchday 3 (see our Porto vs PSV preview). Napoli have 3 points from 3 after beating Bodø/Glimt 4-3 on Matchday 3, per our live table.
UEFA’s Matchday 4 stats note that Napoli have not won in their last seven Champions League away matches (one draw, six defeats), while Porto are unbeaten in their last six UEFA home games against Italian clubs. One team-news site lists several Porto and Napoli players as injury doubts, but we could not confirm any list from the clubs, so check the line-ups about an hour before kick-off.
Zaidu Sanusi is the Nigerian in Porto’s squad. One team-news site lists a Porto defender named Sanusi as doubtful with an injury, but we could not confirm that from a club source, so treat his availability as uncertain until the team sheet is out. Follow every Nigerian in the competition on our Nigerians in the Champions League tracker.

Porto are under pressure at home with zero points, while Napoli arrive on a poor away record in this competition. It looks close, and a first Porto point is plausible. No result is guaranteed.
