Napoli have won just one of their opening four Champions League games Napoli failed to score for a second match in a row as the Italian champions were held to a goalless draw at home by Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. Antonio Conte's side were looking to bounce back from a humbling 6-2 defeat by PSV Eindhoven on matchday three, but struggled to create clear chances in the absence of injured midfielder Kevin de Bruyne. Napoli started well but lacked communication in the final third. Rasmus Hojlund and Frank Anguissa got in each other's way with both trying to head in Eljif Elmas' cross, before the winger saw his goal-bound strike inadvertently deflected over by Scott Mc Tominay. The Scottish midfielder spurned two clear chances in the second half, first taking a heavy touch as he rounded Frankfurt goalkeeper Michael Zetterer, before later skying an effort following Anguissa's cut back. Frankfurt substitute Ansgar Knauff drew a smart close-range stop from Napoli's Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, but the Bundesliga side also lacked quality in attack. Zetterer made a crucial double save deep into injury time to condemn Napoli to back-to-back blanks at home, after drawing 0-0 with Como in Serie A on Saturday. Both sides have four points after four Champions League games. On matchday five Napoli host Qarabag (25 November, 20: 00 GMT), while Frankfurt take on Atalanta in Germany (26 November, 20: 00 GMT).

The last meeting between these two sides ended in a 3-0 home victory for Napoli in March 2023, a result that eliminated Eintracht Frankfurt from the UEFA Champions League (last 16). This remains Napoli’s joint-second biggest margin of victory in a home match in the competition, only behind a 4-0 win versus Genk in December 2019. Eintracht Frankfurt have lost their last three games against Italian sides in Europe, all without scoring (two v Napoli and one v Roma). Prior to this, they had only lost two of their first 11 matches against Italian sides across all European competitions (W6 D3). Only three sides have conceded more goals in the UEFA Champions League this season than Napoli (9). They’re facing an average of 16. 7 shots per game, only facing more in two previous campaigns – 17 per game in 2011-12 and 16. 9 per game in 2023-24. Eintracht Frankfurt’s three UEFA Champions League games this season have all ended 5-1 (W1 L2), becoming the first team in the history of the competition to see their first three games in a season all have 6+ goals. Only Borussia Dortmund’s games (6. 3) are averaging a higher goals per game this season than Frankfurt’s six per game. Napoli have only lost one of their last 18 home UEFA Champions League matches (W11 D6), losing 3-2 to Real Madrid in October 2023. They’ve scored at least once in each of their last 21 on home soil – since a 0-0 draw with Dynamo Kyiv in November 2016 – with only Real Madrid on a longer current run (38 games). Eintracht Frankfurt have conceded five goals in each of their last two UEFA Champions League matches – no side has ever done so in three in a row (since 1992-93). Across all major European competitions, no side from Europe’s big-five leagues has ever conceded 5+ goals in three games in a row. Napoli manager Antonio Conte has lost two of his three UEFA Champions League group games this season – only once has he lost three in a single edition, doing so in 2019-20 for Internazionale. He is unbeaten in both previous games against Eintracht Frankfurt, however (W1 D1 in 2022-23 with Spurs). Napoli’s Scott Mc Tominay netted both of their goals in the 6-2 defeat to PSV on MD3 of this season’s UEFA Champions League. The only Scottish players to score more than twice in a single season in the competition are Celtic’s Kenny Miller in 2006-07 (3) and Aston Villa’s John Mc Ginn in 2024-25 (3). Mario Götze has three assists in his last seven UEFA Champions League appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt and his assist against Liverpool was his 15th overall in the competition, becoming the eighth German player with 15+ assists. Only Brazil and France have as many players with that many assists (both 8). Match ends, Napoli 0, Eintracht Frankfurt 0. Second Half ends, Napoli 0, Eintracht Frankfurt 0.
