Match Week 4 of the UEFA Champions League kicks off on Tuesday night with nine thrilling encounters, all broadcast live on SuperSport.

The spotlight falls on two headline fixtures, Liverpool v Real Madrid and Bayern Munich v defending champions Paris Saint-Germain as Europe’s elite battle for crucial group stage points.

Here's a look at what the stats reveal ahead of all nine matchups on the night.

Napoli v Eintracht Frankfurt

Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt have met on four previous occasions in Europe, all of which have come at the last 16 stage – the German side won both legs in the UEFA Cup in 1994-95, before Napoli won both in the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League.

The last meeting between these two sides ended in a 3-0 home victory for Napoli in March 2023, a result that eliminated Eintracht Frankfurt from the UEFA Champions League (last 16). This remains Napoli’s joint-second biggest margin of victory in a home match in the competition, only behind a 4-0 win versus Genk in December 2019.

Eintracht Frankfurt have lost their last three games against Italian sides in Europe, all without scoring (two v Napoli and one v Roma). Prior to this, they had only lost two of their first 11 matches against Italian sides across all European competitions (W6 D3).

— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) November 3, 2025

Only three sides have conceded more goals in the UEFA Champions League this season than Napoli (9). They’re facing an average of 16.7 shots per game, only facing more in two previous campaigns – 17 per game in 2011-12 and 16.9 per game in 2023-24.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s three UEFA Champions League games this season have all ended 5-1 (W1 L2), becoming the first team in the history of the competition to see their first three games in a season all have 6+ goals. Only Borussia Dortmund’s games (6.3) are averaging a higher goals per game this season than Frankfurt’s six per game.

Napoli have only lost one of their last 18 home UEFA Champions League matches (W11 D6), losing 3-2 to Real Madrid in October 2023. They’ve scored at least once in each of their last 21 on home soil – since a 0-0 draw with Dynamo Kyiv in November 2016 – with only Real Madrid on a longer current run (38 games).

Eintracht Frankfurt have conceded five goals in each of their last two UEFA Champions League matches – no side has ever done so in three in a row (since 1992-93). Across all major European competitions, no side from Europe’s big-five leagues has ever conceded 5+ goals in three games in a row.

Napoli manager Antonio Conte has lost two of his three UEFA Champions League group games this season – only once has he lost three in a single edition, doing so in 2019-20 for Internazionale. He is unbeaten in both previous games against Eintracht Frankfurt, however (W1 D1 in 2022-23 with Spurs).

Napoli’s Scott McTominay netted both of their goals in the 6-2 defeat to PSV on MD3 of this season’s UEFA Champions League. The only Scottish players to score more than twice in a single season in the competition are Celtic’s Kenny Miller in 2006-07 (3) and Aston Villa’s John McGinn in 2024-25 (3).

Mario Götze has three assists in his last seven UEFA Champions League appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt and his assist against Liverpool was his 15th overall in the competition, becoming the eighth German player with 15+ assists. Only Brazil and France have as many players with that many assists (both 8).

Slavia Prague v Arsenal

Slavia Prague are winless in their four meetings with Arsenal (D2 L2); only facing Anderlecht (5) more times in European competition without managing a victory.

Slavia Prague have only won one of their eight home games against English teams in European competition (D2 L5), going winless in seven since beating Leeds United in March 2000 in the UEFA Cup (2-1). After scoring twice in that game versus Leeds, they only netted one goal across the following seven.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their 10 matches against sides from Czechia, with eight of those ending in wins (D2). The Gunners have scored 27 goals across those 10 games, while only conceding three in return and keeping eight clean sheets.

Slavia Prague are winless in their last 14 UEFA Champions League matches (D6 L8) since winning their first game in the competition in September 2007 against FCSB. It’s the longest current run of any of the 36 sides in this season’s competition, and the joint longest run by a Czechia side – Sparta Prague also went 14 without a win between February 2004 and December 2005.

Arsenal have won their first three UEFA Champions League matches this season without conceding a goal, one of two sides to do this, along with Internazionale. The Gunners are looking to win their opening four games of a season for the first time since 2005-06, while the only English team in European Cup history to win their first four matches of a season without conceding were Leeds United in 1969-70.

Slavia Prague are one of four sides who didn’t score on MD2 and MD3 of this season’s UEFA Champions League, with the Czechia side accumulating the lowest xG of any side (0.84), while their shots had the lowest xG per shot value (0.04).

Only Bayern Munich (1.37) have faced a lower xG in UEFA Champions League games this season than Arsenal (1.51), while the Gunners have faced the joint fewest shots on target (6, level with Man City).

2 017 of the minutes Slavia Prague have awarded to players in the UEFA Champions League this season have been for Czechia players, the third most a team has given to players of their own affiliation, behind Athletic Club (2 717 to Spanish players) and Bodø/Glimt (2 403 to Norwegian players).

Gabriel Martinelli has scored in all three of Arsenal’s UEFA Champions League matches in 2025-26. The only Gunners player to score in their first four matches in a major European campaign was Ian Wright in the 1994-95 Cup Winners’ Cup (scored in first eight).

Mikel Arteta has won 63 per cent of his UEFA Champions League matches as Arsenal manager (won 17 of 27 games) – that’s the eighth best win ratio for a manager to take charge of 20+ games at a club, and the best at an English side.

Atlético de Madrid v Union Saint-Gilloise

Atlético de Madrid and Union Saint-Gilloise will meet for the first time here; the Spanish side have only won two of their previous six games against Belgian sides in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (D2 L2), and are winless in the last three (D2 L1).

Atlético de Madrid have failed to score in three consecutive matches against Belgian teams in the UEFA Champions League, all of which were against Club Brugge between December 2018 and October 2022 (D2 L1).

This will be the 23rd time that a Belgian team have faced a Spanish opponent away from home in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, while they have won just two of the previous 22 (D6 L14). The last side to do so were Anderlecht in December 2005, winning 1-0 away at Real Betis (D3 L4 since then).

Atlético de Madrid have lost two of their three UEFA Champions League group games this season, as many as they lost in 2023-24 and 2024-25 combined (W10 D2 L2). They last suffered three group defeats in 2022-23.

After winning their first UEFA Champions League match 3-1 against PSV, Union Saint-Gilloise have lost their last two both 4-0, against Newcastle and Internazionale. Only two teams have lost by 4+ goals without scoring in three Champions League games in a row – Malmö FF in November/December 2015 and Crvena Zvezda in October/November 2019.

Atlético de Madrid are unbeaten in their last 16 home UEFA Champions League matches against sides from a nation outside of Europe’s big-five leagues (W11 D5), with their last five home defeats coming against sides from England (3), Italy (1) and France (1) since a 2-1 defeat to Benfica in September 2015.

Although they’ve lost their two home UEFA Champions League games, Union Saint-Gilloise won their first away game 3-1 at PSV. Only five teams have won their first two away games in the competition – most recently Brest last season – and no side has ever lost their first two home games but won their first two on the road.

Union Saint-Gilloise’s Kevin Mac Allister has scored in each of his last three away major European appearances, including his only away UEFA Champions League appearance. The only Argentinian to score in his first two away games in the competition is Julio Rossi in 2002 for Basle.

Antoine Griezmann’s next UEFA Champions League appearance will be his 109th, moving ahead of Patrice Evra (108) into the outright third spot for most games played by a Frenchman in the competition. He’s had a hand in 37 goals in 43 home appearances for Atlético de Madrid (28 goals, 9 assists), including 12 in his last 12 on home soil (9 goals, 3 assists).

Between spells at Manchester City and his current club Atlético de Madrid, Julián Alvarez has been directly involved in 15 goals in 10 home matches he has started in the UEFA Champions League (10 goals, five assists). Across those 10 starts, he has averaged a goal or assist every 59 minutes played.

Liverpool v Real Madrid

Liverpool and Real Madrid have faced each other on 12 previous occasions in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League. After winning the first three between 1981 and 2009, Liverpool have only won one of the last nine (D1 L7).

This will be the eighth time that Liverpool and Real Madrid have met in the UEFA Champions League since the start of the 2017-18 season, with the Spanish side winning five of the previous seven (D1 L1). Including all MD4 games this season, only two fixtures will have been played more often in the competition in this period: Manchester City v Real Madrid (10) and Paris SG v Bayern Munich (9).

All four of Liverpool’s wins over Real Madrid in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League have been to nil, including the most recent one in November 2024 (2-0 at Anfield). Only Juventus (5) have won and kept a clean sheet against Real Madrid across the two competitions on more occasions.

Liverpool have won 20 of their last 22 home UEFA Champions League group stage games (D1 L1), including each of their last 12 in a row. However, three of their seven home group defeats have come versus Spanish sides (one each v Barcelona, Valencia and Real Madrid).

Real Madrid have won their first three UEFA Champions League matches this season – on two of the previous four occasions they’ve started with four consecutive wins, they’ve lifted the trophy (2001-02 and 2023-24), reaching the semifinals in the other two (2011-12 and 2014-15).

Real Madrid have had the most shots on target in the UEFA Champions League this season (37), having 10+ in all three games (15 v Marseille, 12 v Kairat, 10 v Juventus). Since 2003-04, the only team to do so in four in a row are Madrid themselves in the 2013-14 campaign, though Liverpool have only faced 10+ shots on target twice since 2003-04, and never at Anfield.

Arne Slot has won 10 of his 13 UEFA Champions League matches as Liverpool manager (L3), with only Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich (10), Luis Enrique at Barcelona (11) and Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid (12) reaching 10 wins in fewer games with a club. Slot at Liverpool is the fastest any manager has won 10 games with an English club, however.

Of the 10 players with 50+ goals in European Cup/UEFA Champions League history, Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has the highest per centage scored in away matches (53 per cent - 32/60). The Frenchman netted a hat-trick in his previous away game in the competition (v Kairat on MD2), and now has the joint-most away hat-tricks of any player in European Cup/Champions League history (3 – level with Filippo Inzaghi).

This game could be Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham’s 50th UEFA Champions League appearance, reaching that total aged just 22 years and 128 days – the youngest of any player in the competition’s history. The current youngest is Iker Casillas, who hit 50 games aged 22 years and 155 days, just 115 days after Bellingham was born in 2003.

Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold could become just the second Englishman to play against Liverpool in the European Cup having previously played for them in the competition, after Nottingham Forest’s Larry Lloyd in September 1978 (played both games against Liverpool in the first round in 1978-79).

Tottenham Hotspur v Copenhagen

This will be the first meeting between Tottenham and Copenhagen, and just the English side’s second match against a Danish opponent in European competition, after a 3-2 win versus Aalborg in the UEFA Cup in November 2007.

Copenhagen have only won two of their previous 19 matches against English sides in European competition (D5 L12), with both of those victories coming against Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League (1-0 in November 2006 and 4-3 in November 2023).

Copenhagen have never won away to an English opponent in Europe, losing in seven of their nine attempts (D2). Indeed, they’ve lost each of the last five in a row, with four of those coming since the start of the 2022-23 campaign.

This will be Thomas Frank’s first match against a Danish opponent since March 2016, in a 3-1 defeat against SønderjyskE while in charge of Brøndby. The Tottenham manager has faced Copenhagen on eight previous occasions – all in the Danish Superliga with Brøndby – winning just two of them (D3 L3).

Tottenham Hotspur have drawn each of their last two UEFA Champions League matches, while two of their last four games in the competition have been 0-0. Spurs haven’t drawn three in a row in major European competition since doing so between March and October 2014 in the UEFA Europa League.

Copenhagen have conceded two or more goals in each of their last five UEFA Champions League matches, shipping 14 in total (D1 L4). They’ve only won one of 19 games in the competition when shipping 2+ goals (D2 L16), a 4-3 win over Man Utd in November 2023.

Tottenham Hotspur are unbeaten in their last nine major European matches (W6 D3) – they last had a run of 10 undefeated games between December 2011 and March 2013 in the UEFA Europa League.

Excluding own goals, two of Copenhagen’s three UEFA Champions League goals this season have come via headers – they’ve scored with 33 per cent of shots via their heads (2/6), compared to just one of their 29 attempts not from a header (3.4 per cent).

Copenhagen’s Viktor Dadason netted on his UEFA Champions League debut on MD3 aged just 17 years and 113 days, the youngest ever debutant scorer in the competition’s history. The current youngest player to score in his first two appearances is Karim Benzema (18 years, 281 days), who is now the fourth highest scoring player in the competition’s history with 90 goals.

Pedro Porro has made 28 line-breaking passes across his three UEFA Champions League games this season, at least 10 more than any other Tottenham Hotspur player. The Spaniard also has the joint-most chances created for the London side in the competitions this term (4), level with attacker Mohammed Kudus.

Olympiakos v PSV Eindhoven

The only previous meetings between Olympiakos and PSV came in the last 32 of the UEFA Europa League in 2020-21, where the Greek side progressed with a 5-4 aggregate victory over two legs (won 4-2 at home in the first leg, lost 2-1 away in the second).

PSV have lost four of their last six away trips to face Greek sides in European competition (W2), including the most recent two versus PAOK Salonika (November 2020) and Olympiakos (February 2021), both in the UEFA Europa League. Their last one in the UEFA Champions League was a 4-1 loss to Panathinaikos in December 2004.

PSV have conceded 14 goals across their last four away matches versus Greek sides (W1 L3), conceding exactly four goals in each of the three defeats they suffered in this run: 4-1 losses to Panathinaikos and PAOK Salonika, along with a 4-2 defeat to Olympiakos.

Since the 2017-18 campaign, only Crvena Zvezda (77 per cent, 20/26) have lost a higher per centage of their UEFA Champions League matches than Olympiakos (76 per cent, 16/21) among teams to play 20+ games in that time. Indeed, Olympiakos have lost as many games as Man City since 2017-18, despite City playing 69 more games.

PSV’s nine UEFA Champions League matches 2025 have seen 43 goals scored (21 for, 22 against), with that average of 4.8 per game the highest of any side to feature in both last season and this season’s competition.

Between 2009-10 and 2014-15, Olympiakos won 13 out of 17 home matches in the UEFA Champions League (L4). Since then, the Greek side have only won three out of 13 games (D3 L7), failing to score in each of their last three at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.

PSV have just three wins in their last 30 away matches in the UEFA Champions League (D9 L18) and they have gone 17 away games without a clean sheet since a 0-0 draw at Atlético de Madrid back in March 2016. 13 of their last 16 victories have come at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven.

Ayoub El Kaabi has scored 22 major European goals for Olympiakos, netting his first in the UEFA Champions League in the 6-1 defeat to Barcelona on MD3. The only player to score more goals for a Greek club in Europe is Dimitrios Saravakos for Panathinaikos (23).

Guus Til has four assists in his last six UEFA Champions League starts for PSV, including one in each of his last three starts. No Dutch player has ever assisted a goal in four starts in a row, with Philipp Cocu in 1999/00 and Clarence Seedorf in 2007 also doing so in three in a row.

PSV’s last two UEFA Champions League goals against Napoli on MD3 were scored by Ricardo Pepi and Couhaib Driouech, who both assisted one another goals as well and both had come on as substitutes. It was only the fifth time a substitute duo had combined for goals in a match in Champions League history.

Juventus v Sporting CP

Juventus are unbeaten in their four meetings with Sporting CP to date (W2 D2), with their most recent clash seeing Juve eliminate the Portuguese side from the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals in 2022-23 (2-1 aggregate victory – won 1-0 at home, drew 1-1 away).

Sporting CP – who are winless in four games against Juventus (D2 L2) – have only faced three other sides as many as five times in major European competition without ever winning: Arsenal (7), Partizan Belgrade (6) and Bayer Leverkusen (6).

This will be the 20th time that Sporting CP have faced an Italian side away from home in Europe, while they’re still looking for their first victory (D5 L14). Indeed, they have lost in Italy in three of the last four seasons (P4 D1 L3), versus Juventus in 2022-23 (0-1), Atalanta in 2023-24 (1-2) and Napoli in 2025-26 (1-2).

Juventus are winless in their last four UEFA Champions League matches (D2 L2) since beating PSV 2-1 in February. They last had a longer winless run in the competition between April and November 2013 (6 games).

Sporting CP have won two of their last three UEFA Champions League matches (L1), only one fewer than they’d won in their previous 14 combined (W3 D4 L7). They’re looking for consecutive wins for the first time since winning their final two under Rúben Amorim in October/November last season.

Five of the six goals Juventus have scored in the UEFA Champions League this season have been when they’ve been losing, the most of any side in that game state. Although they’ve only spent 37 per cent of their games losing – the 15th most of any side – they’ve had the second-most shots when they’ve been behind (25).

Sporting CP have won just one of their 24 away UEFA Champions League matches against sides from one of Europe’s big-five leagues (D4 L19), beating Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 in September 2022.

Four of Sporting CP’s seven UEFA Champions League goals this season have been scored by substitutes, the most of any side. Indeed, of their nine goals scored across 2025, only two of them have not had an involvement from a sub either scoring (5) or assisting (4) or both.

Dusan Vlahovic’s next UEFA Champions League appearance will be his 20th for Juventus – since his debut in the competition in February 2022, he’s been involved in 11 goals (8 goals, 3 assists), more than twice as many as any of his teammates (Weston McKennie, 5).

Pote has been involved in nine goals in 16 UEFA Champions League appearances for Sporting CP (4 goals, 5 assists) – the most of any player in their Champions League history. He’s assisted a goal in three of his last four starts in the competition, all of which have been in victories.

Paris SG v Bayern Munich

Paris SG have lost each of their last four matches against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, with this being their longest ever losing run against a team in the competition.

Bayern Munich are the team that have beaten Paris SG the most times in the UEFA Champions League, winning eight of their 14 meetings in the competition (L6). If the German side win here, they would also become the only team to have won three consecutive away matches against Paris SG in the Champions League (won the last two by 1-0 scorelines – April 2021 and February 2023).

Paris SG have failed to score a single goal across their last four meetings with Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League; their longest run without scoring against an opponent in the competition. Across the four games, they have attempted a total of 40 shots and hit the target on 14 occasions without finding the net.

— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) November 3, 2025

This will be Bayern Munich’s first UEFA Champions League match against the previous season’s winners since a 2-2 draw with Real Madrid in May 2018; a result which saw them eliminated from the tournament at the semifinal stage (lost 4-3 on aggregate). Bayern are winless in their last five matches against the competition’s reigning champions (D1 L4), conceding at least two goals in each of them (13 conceded overall).

Paris SG have won their last six matches in the UEFA Champions League, their joint best winning run in the competition – they also won their first six games in 1994-95 under Luis Fernandez. They haven’t won their fourth group match in any of the last four seasons, however (D2 L2).

Bayern Munich are looking to win four consecutive UEFA Champions League matches for the first time since winning their first four in 2023-24, while the last time they netted three or more goals in four games in a row was between September and November 2021 under Julian Nagelsmann.

Paris SG have scored more goals than any other team in this season’s UEFA Champions League (13), the most netted in a side’s first three games since Napoli scored 13 in 2022-23. The record for goals in a team’s first four matches is 17, achieved by Paris SG in 2017-18, Bayern Munich in 2021-22 and Napoli in 2022-23.

Paris SG’s Achraf Hakimi has been directly involved in a goal in each of his last five UEFA Champions League appearances (two goals, three assists); the joint-longest run by a defender in the competition (since 1992-93), along with Marcelo for Real Madrid (April-October 2018) and Ian Harte for Leeds United (February-April 2001).

Harry Kane could score in five consecutive UEFA Champions League appearances for the first time in his career (netted in each of last four – six goals), while only two other players have scored in five in a row in the competition as a Bayern Munich player (Arjen Robben in October 2013 and Robert Lewandowski on three different occasions).

Paris SG’s Vitinha has completed 92.4 per cent of his passes made under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season (134/145); the highest of any player to attempt 100 across the first three matchdays. Indeed, he also leads all players for total passes completed under high-intensity pressure (134).

Bodø/Glimt v Monaco

This will be the first meeting between Bodø/Glimt and Monaco, as well as just the second time that the Norwegian side have faced a French opponent in Europe (after a 1-1 draw with Nice in January this year in the UEFA Europa League).

Monaco’s only previous game against a Norwegian side in Europe came over two decades ago, losing 1-0 away to Viking in the UEFA Cup group stage in October 2005.

This will be the first match played between teams from Norway and France in the UEFA Champions League in almost two decades, with Rosenborg losing 2-1 to Lyon back on 6 December 2005 in the previous one.

Of the 10 meetings between Norwegian and French sides in European Cup/UEFA Champions League history, only one of those has been won by the Norway outfit (D2 L7): Rosenborg 3-1 Paris SG in September 2000.

Bodø/Glimt are winless in their last six matches in major European competition (D2 L4), conceding at least two goals on each occasion (15 in total). Only once previously have they conceded 2+ goals in more consecutive games in major European action (7 between October 1978 and September 1999).

Since winning three consecutive UEFA Champions League matches between March and April 2017, Monaco have only managed one more victory (4) in their last 27 matches in the competition (D7 L16).

Monaco have drawn three of their last four matches in the UEFA Champions League (L1), including the most recent two; only once have they drawn three in a row in the competition, doing so in the 1997-98 edition (3).

Only two teams – Atalanta (-4.1) and Slavia Prague (-2.8) – have underperformed against their expected goals by a bigger margin than Monaco (-2.4) in the UEFA Champions League this season. The French side have scored just three goals from an xG total of 5.4 so far.

Both of Bodø/Glimt’s goals at the Aspmyra Stadion in the UEFA Champions League have been scored by Jens Petter Hauge and assisted by Håkon Evjen (both v Tottenham Hotspur). This was just one of five instances of a player assisting a teammate twice in a Champions League match in 2025-26.

Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche has had the most shots (12) of any player yet to score in the UEFA Champions League this season. The Frenchman attempted six against Tottenham Hotspur on MD3, with only one Monaco player on record (since 2003-04) having more in a Champions League match without finding the net (7 by Javier Chevantón v PSV in March 2005).
