UEFA Champions League | Napoli VS Braga; Wednesday, 13 December at 04:00 GMT +8

Napoli, despite a poor group stage performance in the Champions League, has a strong chance to advance to the knockout stage. Real Madrid currently holds the top spot with 15 points, while Napoli, in 2nd place, has 7 points, three points more than their rival, Braga. They need only one point to qualify for the knockout phase, but will aim for all three points.

Braga, despite their recent performances, needs luck and quality to reach the top two positions in their strong group. They have a chance to reach the second position, but the chances of winning are low. It is more realistic for them to remain in third place and advance to the knockout phase of the Europa League, a competitive competition.

Kajuste from Sweden is expected to miss the match due to a knee injury, while Oliveira will also miss the protocol due to the same injury, and Rui will be out of the field due to a groin injury.

Niakate will be absent from the match due to a red card and suspension, while Al Musrati and Gomez are on the questionable list.

Goalkeeper: Alex Meret
