Napoli vs Union Berlin Prediction | Champions League Tips
Napoli vs Union Berlin Recent Form
While Group C is definitely a mixing pot, Napoli have stood their ground thus far. In three games, they won on two occasions, both as the away team, while they lost their home game. With these results, they are currently in second place, three points behind Real Madrid.
In Napoli fixtures, they first beat Braga in Portugal 1:2. In the third round, they struggled against Union Berlin in Germany but won 0:1. However, their second-round clash against Real Madrid at home ended unfavourably for the Gli Azzurri, as they lost 2:3. Having given their absolute best, they really challenged Los Blancos, and were close to securing some points.
On the other hand, Union Berlin have not shown up for the competition yet. They are yet to secure their first points in this competition, and it is looking more grim for the team. With no points, they are, as expected, in last place, with a goal difference of 2:5. The team is now on a 12-game losing streak in all competitions.
In the first round, Die Eisernen faced Real in Spain and lost only 1:0. In the second round, what seemed like an easy win on their home field turned into a nightmare as the 10-man Braga scored a last-minute goal to steal the win. Finally, in the last round, Union lost, once again at home, against Napoli with 0:1.

For our Napoli vs Union Berlin prediction, we also review their previous head-to-head encounters. However, the only time Union Berlin found their name in Napoli fixtures was in the first duel of this group.
Union Berlin held up well against the Gli Azzurri in their first-ever game. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to secure their first points, and after a disappointing 0:1 loss, Union Berlin are in trouble. Statistically, the Germans were better in many sections, but what matters is only the final result.
