A Historic Collapse for Napoli
Napoli suffered a shocking 2–6 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League group stage this morning. It was the first time in Napoli’s history that they conceded six goals in a European competition match. Across all tournaments, this was their heaviest loss since the 3–6 defeat to Sampdoria in 1997.
PSV became the first Dutch side to score six or more goals in a Champions League game since Ajax did it in 1979. For fans at 12BET Malaysia, this game was a wild one for goal-line betting and live odds action!
Stats Show the Struggle
Napoli had only 41% possession and were outshot 10–19, with an expected goals tally of 1.16 to 2.89. Yet PSV converted at an incredible rate — three long-range strikes found the net, showing their deliberate tactic of testing Napoli from distance.
No wonder fans at 12BET Malaysia couldn’t believe their eyes! PSV have now scored 10 goals from outside the box in the Champions League since 2023–24 — tied with Dortmund as the leaders in long-shot goals.

Conte: “Too Many New Faces”
After the match, Antonio Conte was candid:
“We signed too many players this summer. Last season we were united and compact, but with nine new players, the chemistry is gone. It takes time to rebuild that connection.”
With injuries to key players like Lukaku, Lobotka, and Rahmani, the Italian coach admitted the team has struggled to regain balance and identity.
Under Pressure Ahead of Inter Clash
Napoli have now lost four of their last seven matches in all competitions, conceding 15 goals and keeping zero clean sheets since August. As they prepare to face Inter Milan next, pressure mounts on Conte to find answers fast.
Still, fans at 12BET Malaysia are already eyeing the odds for the big clash this weekend.
