Reference class: elite-visitor away matches in Europe; three-way outcomes cap most teams' away-win probability in the low-to-mid 30s, and the draw (~25%) is always live [no specific fact; general reasoning]
Signal: Arsenal's form is genuinely elite — three straight PL wins (7-2 aggregate) in 2026-27 and 8/8 wins in last season's UCL league phase — pushing them well above the generic away base rate
Signal: Napoli are weakened — McTominay out after a heart procedure, plus Mazzocchi, Marianucci and Buongiorno injured, and they enter off back-to-back defeats including a home loss to Como
Counter-signal: Arsenal travel without Saliba, Timber and Mosquera — their core defensive depth — which meaningfully raises Napoli's scoring chances away in a hostile venue
Signal (modest): Historical H2H favors Arsenal (3 wins in 4 European meetings, including a 3-0 aggregate in 2019), though aged squad data makes this weak evidence
Narrative discount: the away fixture at the Maradona and short rest after an emotionally intense comeback vs Chelsea argue against over-weighting Arsenal's league form

What would change it: Confirmation that Arsenal's missing defenders (Saliba, Timber) have been replaced by further injuries to Odegaard/Havertz-level attackers, or that Napoli's lineup is near full strength, would push my estimate below 30%. has_independent_basis: true

Base rate: Away wins in Champions League league-phase matches occur roughly 28-33% of the time, so even elite visitors start well below 50% in a three-way market with the draw live.
