Head-to-Head History and Stats
Napoli and Paris Saint-Germain will face off on November 6, 2018, in a highly anticipated UEFA Champions League match. The two teams have met only once before, in a friendly match in 2018, which PSG won 2-0. Overall, PSG has a slight edge over Napoli in the head-to-head record, with one win and one draw in two meetings. However, Napoli has won their last two matches against French opposition, so they will be confident of causing an upset in Paris.

Preview
Napoli will be looking to build on their impressive start to the season when they travel to Paris to face PSG. The Italian side has won four of their five matches in all competitions this season, including a 3-1 victory over Liverpool in the Champions League. PSG, meanwhile, will be looking to continue their dominance in French football. The French champions have won their last five matches in all competitions and are currently top of the Ligue 1 standings. The match is likely to be a close and competitive affair, with both teams capable of winning the game. Napoli will be looking to exploit PSG's defense, which has been shaky at times this season. PSG, on the other hand, will be looking to use their attacking firepower to break down the Napoli defense.
Prediction
Napoli is a slight underdog in this match, but they have the quality to cause PSG problems. The Italian side will be looking to play a counter-attacking style, and they will be hoping to take advantage of any mistakes made by the PSG defense. PSG, on the other hand, will be looking to control the game from the start and to use their attacking firepower to break down the Napoli defense. Ultimately, I believe that PSG will win this match. The French champions have a better overall squad and they are in better form than Napoli. However, I expect Napoli to give PSG a run for their money, and I believe that they could even pull off an upset.
