Napoli vs Arsenal Predictions
Arsenal carry a winning run into Naples
Arsenal have won all four of their matches this season, with the early sequence including a Community Shield success against Manchester City. Their latest result was a 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Sunday.
The Champions League also brings a strong recent tournament record. Arsenal won all eight league-phase matches last season and remained unbeaten in normal time throughout the competition. Paris Saint-Germain eventually beat them on penalties in the final.
Napoli have lost their last two Serie A matches. Most recently, they surrendered a two-goal lead in a 3-2 defeat at Inter Milan, leaving them with consecutive losses before this home European fixture.
Their Champions League record last season was also difficult. Napoli lost four of eight league-phase matches and failed to progress beyond that stage.
Arsenal are odds-on favourites at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, and their four straight wins make Arsenal to Win at 1.85 the way to go.

Napoli scoring record keeps 3-1 in view
Napoli have found the net in every match this season, giving the exact-score pick a clear home-scoring element at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Their record in Naples stretches further. The Partenopei have scored in 12 of their last 13 competitive home matches, while their only meeting with English opposition in last season's league phase ended in a home defeat to Chelsea despite Napoli scoring twice.
Arsenal, meanwhile, have won each of their four games this season. They have also scored exactly three goals in two of those four matches, providing a specific scoring reference for the visitors.
The Gunners conceded for the first time this season in Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea, while Napoli's back-to-back defeats include the 3-2 loss at Inter after they had led by two goals.
With Arsenal winning four in a row and Napoli already showing a regular home scoring touch, I'm going for Arsenal 3-1 at 15.00.
