Napoli midfielder Valon Behrami has insisted that Napoli's Champions League Group F opponents Borussia Dortmund are fearful of his side.

Behrami said that Napoli will have their work cut out facing last season's beaten finalists, but his side's unbeaten start to the Serie A season has given them confidence.

"We surely have confidence in our skills but we know we're going to face a great team who play at high rhythms and don't leave any space," Behrami told reporters.

"As with any other Champions League match, this match is going to be very difficult for us.

"Of course they are also afraid of us and this fact can only increase our self-confidence."

The game kicks off at the Stadio San Paolo at 7.45pm.
