Mourinho's Benfica earned their first Champions League point on the last matchday, defeating Ajax 2-0 in the Netherlands. However, having lost their previous four matches, the Eagles must win their next three games to have any hope of qualifying; the first of these will be at the Estádio da Luz on Wednesday when they host current Serie A leaders Napoli.
Pre-match odds favor Benfica, as Napoli are missing several key players due to injuries, including Zambo Anguissa, De Bruyne, and Lukaku.
Nevertheless, manager Antonio Conte, faced with these injuries, has implemented a change in formation that, so far, has paid off for the Neapolitan side. They have won four of their last five matches, with the other being a draw in which they secured a penalty shootout victory against Cagliari in the Coppa Italia.
In the Champions League, Napoli struggled more than expected against the modest Qarabag on the last matchday; After Hojlund missed a penalty, Scot McTominay broke the deadlock against the Kazakh side. Napoli ultimately won 2-0.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs Napoli Prediction
Napoli finally achieved the feat of going a full calendar year unbeaten at home, but Conte's team's away form often falters, especially on Champions League nights. In their two away matches, Napoli offered little resistance; they lost 2-0 to Manchester City at the Etihad and 6-2 to PSV in the Netherlands.
It will certainly be a heated clash between the teams of Mourinho and Conte, two managers with Premier League experience between whom there is apparently still some discord. Benfica drew 1-1 against Sporting CP at the weekend in the Portuguese league.
Our prediction for Napoli vs Benfica is: Under 2.5 goals.
