Union Berlin Team News
In the last match of the Champions League, Union Berlin lost to Braga at home 2:3. Although they had a doubled advantage, with Sherald Becker’s goals in the 30th and 37th minutes, they failed to preserve the lead and eventually lost.
They currently occupy the last position in the table in the Champions League without winning a point, because before the match with Braga, they also lost to Real Madrid. In the Bundesliga, they are only in the 15th position with only six points won, and in the last eight competitive games, they recorded all the defeats.
Union Berlin will be without the likes of Alexander Schwolow, András Schafer, Laurenz Dehl, Josip Juranović, and Jerome Roussillon for Tuesday’s European encounter due to injuries. However, Robin Knoche, Rani Khedira, and Alex Kral all took part on Saturday after injury problems, and all three are expected to be available for selection in this encounter.
Kevin Behrens and Robin Gosens have scored four goals each this season and will both be in the starting line-up for the home side on Tuesday, while Sheraldo Becker, who has three goals this season, is also expected to start.
And that, Unioner, is that. The players are distraught. But the fans stay, they all sing. That's what matters. As JB Priestly wrote,

Napoli Team News
In the previous match of the Champions League, Napoli lost at home to Real Madrid by 2:3. They took the lead in the 19th minute with a goal by Leo Ostigard, but the visitors managed to turn the score around by the end of the half. At the beginning of the second part of the match, the home team forced a penalty shot by Piotr Zielinski, and the final result was set in the 78th minute, with an own goal by goalkeeper Alex Meret.
In the first match, Napoli defeated Braga, and they currently occupy the second position with three points won. In Serie A, they are tied for fourth place with 17 points, one more than sixth-placed Atalanta. In the last seven competitive matches, they recorded four wins, two losses, and one draw.
The main news about the team concerns Victor Osimhen, the team’s star player who will be unavailable for the next few weeks due to a hamstring problem he suffered while playing for the Nigerian national team. Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Juan Jesus will also not be present in the Italian squad due to injury problems.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored twice against Verona on Saturday and is expected to be part of the forward line again alongside Matteo Politano and Giacomo Raspadori.

Union Berlin vs Napoli Prediction
Napoli is the favorite in this match due to their form, table situation, and playing staff on paper. Although Union Berlin has the advantage of the home field, we believe that they can hardly win in this game. Therefore, our betting suggestion is a win for the visitors, with at least two goals scored in the match, as a more open match is expected.
