We think that Partenopei look set to make use of the 3-4-2-1 formation this time, utilising V. Milinkovic-Savic, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, A. Buongiorno, Matteo Politano, Stanislav Lobotka, Scott McTominay, Miguel Gutierrez, Eljif Elmas, Noa Lang and Rasmus Hoejlund.

📋 Team News: Parma

It’s our belief that I Crociati will likely play in a 4-3-3 system, choosing Edoardo Corvi, Enrico Del Prato, Alessandro Circati, Lautaro Valenti, Emanuele Valeri, Adrian Bernabe, Mandela Keita, Oliver Soerensen, Gaetano Oristanio, Mateo Pellegrino and Jacob Ondrejka.

💭 Prediction

It looks to us that SSC Napoli should really get the goals that they need against Parma, who won’t find it easy to score.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning margin for SSC Napoli when all’s said and done.
