Watch KRC Genk Vs. SSC Napoli Stream Live: Start Time, Preview, UEFA Champions League Matchday 2 Showdown
Last year’s 2nd-place Italian Serie side, SSC Napoli, are still riding high after taking down defending European Champions Liverpool — a team that has won all seven of its domestic matches this season — 2-0 in their UEFA Champions League group stage opener. The win was the highlight of what has been a difficult season so far for Carlo Ancelotti’s club who, as The Inquisitr reported, has already suffered two losses in their first six games. But on Wednesday, the Azzurri have a chance to feast on an opponent who has struggled both domestically and in their Champions League opener, Belgian champions KRC Genk.
Generally known as Racing Genk, the club now sits 7th domestically, with three losses in eight games, and was comprehensively trounced by German club Red Bull Salzburg 6-2 in their Group E opener. They will need to dig deeper against Napoli or face likely elimination, as they head into the match that will stream live from Belgium.

Genk have now allowed 10 goals in their last two European matches. But in one danger sign for Napoli, the club do not hold an away win in their last 15 UEFA Champions League games.
