A test like this on the continental stage could be what is required to wake them up sufficiently for a tricky group which also includes Ajax and Rangers. Both know each other from a dramatic UCL group a few years back which saw Liverpool leave it late to squeeze through with Paris Saint-Germain and sent the Partenopei into the Europa League as the Reds went on to win it all. The Italians have started the campaign well and sit second in Serie A with three wins from five matches while the Premier League giants have found it tougher domestically with two wins and three draws from six to sit seventh in the early table.

An injury-stricken Liverpool squad is looking for a morale boost as the Reds travel to Italy for their Champions League opener against high-flying Serie A ...

Napoli vs. When Napoli played Barcelona last year at Camp Nou, a match that finished in a 1-1 draw, Barca managed just five corners while Napoli collected just two. Expect a defensive battle at the Maradona on Wednesday. Osimhen may not even play in the match due to a hamstring injury, which would add to the difficulties up front. Liverpool's attack has misfired on multiple occasions to start the season. Meanwhile, they conceded to Crystal Palace and Newcastle United plus a pair of goals allowed against Fulham and Man United. Even looking back at Liverpool in last season's Champions League, their trips to Italy were a struggle. Liverpool sit second in the Premier League with 14.11 xG, but 4.86 of that came against Bournemouth alone, while the 7.15 xGA puts them sixth, a good way behind the top four defensive sides. As seen above, Liverpool have not only never won at the Maradona, but they've also never scored in three previous trips. The half-goal spread seems almost dead-on, with Napoli just slightly favored on the slight handicap. Darwin Nunez in particular could use a good showing after his poor return from suspension against Everton over the weekend. Outside that result, the Reds have scored just six goals while conceding six.

Napoli are undefeated in their three games against the Merseyside club at home, recording two wins and playing out a draw. The game should end in a high-scoring draw. The head-to-head record is even at the moment with three wins for either side and two games ending in draws. The Reds played out a goalless draw against Everton in their previous Premier League game on Saturday. They have had a slow start to their season but have recovered well and are undefeated in their previous three games across all competitions.

Liverpool ratings: Poor Champions League start sees quiet 5/10 ... (ESPN)

Liverpool never looked quite ready for Napoli, and their Champions League opener was marked by poor performances throughout the squad.

[Diogo Jota](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/208133/diogo-jota) (Salah, 63"), 5 -- Jota found himself in positive areas but he was quickly crowded out by defenders. [Darwin Nunez](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/271788/Darwin-Núñez) (Firmino, 62"), 6 -- Nunez looked to make runs in behind to stretch the play, but Liverpool didn't find him in space enough. [Joel Matip](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/134659/joel-matip) (Gomez, 45"), 6 -- Introduced at the break for Joe Gomez but could have done more for Napoli's 4th goal. [Thiago](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/195354/Thiago) (Milner, 63"), 7 -- A return from injury from Thiago saw him add more control to Liverpool's midfield, a factor that was desperately needed after Napoli's continued success. [Arthur](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/314861/Arthur) (Elliott, 77") N/R -- Introduced for Elliott in the 77th minute in a Liverpool debut against familiar opposition for the on-loan Juventus midfielder, and he looked to enjoy his minutes playing alongside Thiago. Replaced at half-time for [Joel Matip](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/134659/Joël-Matip). [Virgil van Dijk](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/157892/Virgil-van-Dijk), 4 -- The Netherlands star has to do much more to help command Liverpool's defensive line as the most experienced player in the side. Napoli kept the Egypt international quiet overall, in a match where he struggled to make an impact from the right wing. His finish outside the box early in the second-half was excellent, while he then came close with a header that was well saved by Meret. A clearance off the line denied [Napoli](/soccer/team?id=114) in the first half, but he then conceded a penalty. [Joe Gomez](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/102053/Joe-Gomez), 4 -- Nothing seemed to go right for Joe Gomez on the night who was caught in possession on a number of occasions, and in moments where he did make contact, the ball seemed to divert back into a dangerous area. The experienced midfielder was careless in possession, with many of his long balls easily dealt with by the Serie A side's defence.
