"Antonio Conte hopes Napoli can beat Qarabag in the Champions League on Tuesday and dedicate the victory to Diego Maradona. The match takes place on the fifth anniversary of Maradona's death, with Napoli's stadium now named after the Argentinian legend. Napoli have struggled in the Champions League this season, picking up just four points from as many games. They have won just one of their last six matches in the competition (D2 L3),"
""Of course, it's the anniversary of Maradona's passing. We all know what he represents for Naples, and it would certainly be nice if we could dedicate a win to him," said Conte."
""Qarabag can be considered the surprise team of the Champions League. They have seven points, even earned on difficult pitches like Benfica's. "They drew the last home game against Chelsea, almost winning at the end. They have many foreign players, but well integrated. "We will need a lot of energy from the start because they will bring plenty of it.""

Napoli have collected only four points from four Champions League games and have won just one of their last six matches in the competition. Qarabag have avoided defeat in three of four group games this season and have already increased their goal tally compared with their previous European appearance. Conte warns Qarabag will be energetic and a stern test in Naples.
