📰 Team News: Napoli

Alex Meret (Shoulder injury), Frank Anguissa (Hamstring injury), Romelu Lukaku (Rest), Billy Gilmour (Pubalgia) and Kevin De Bruyne (Hamstring muscle injury) won’t be able to feature for Napoli boss Antonio Conte. Juan Jesus is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

In our view, Partenopei will possibly go for a 3-4-2-1 formation in the match with V. Milinkovic-Savic, Sam Beukema, Amir Rrahmani, A. Buongiorno, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Stanislav Lobotka, Scott McTominay, Leonardo Spinazzola, Matteo Politano, Noa Lang and Rasmus Hoejlund.

ℹ️ Team News: Parma

It’s our belief that I Crociati might utilise a 4-3-2-1 system, giving starts to Edoardo Corvi, Enrico Del Prato, Alessandro Circati, Lautaro Valenti, Emanuele Valeri, Adrian Bernabe, Mandela Keita, Nahuel Estevez, Gaetano Oristanio, Adrian Benedyczak and Mateo Pellegrino.

✨ 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.
