The third round of the 2022/2023 Champions League group stages sees Napoli head to Amsterdam to face Ajax.
Napoli are in red hot form this season, and they find themselves top of both the Serie A and their Champions League group, one that many labelled as the group of death.
The first round of Europe’s elite competition saw the Italian giants record an emphatic 4-1 win over a lacklustre Liverpool side, and a week later they travelled to Glasgow and dismantled Rangers, earning a 3-0 win in the process.
Luciano Spaletti’s side are also unbeaten in the domestic league, and they sit in first place after 8 rounds of football, making them one of Europe’s most in form teams.

Although they had a bright start to their Champions League campaign, Ajax are coming off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool, and the Dutch champions will know it is important they collect a result in tonight’s encounter to give them hope of reaching the knockouts.
