📰 Team News: Parma

Alessandro Vogliacco (Hamstring injury), Yordan Osorio (Herniated disc), Adrián Bernabé (Hamstring injury), Matteo Cancellieri (Thigh problems), Nahuel Estévez (Hamstring strain), Mateusz Kowalski (Cruciate ligament tear), Valentin Mihăilă (muscular problems) and Gabriel Charpentier (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be able to feature for Parma manager Cristian Chivu.

It seems likely that I Crociati should kick off with a 3-5-1-1 formation with Semuel Pizzignacco, Stefan Lekovic, Arvid Brorsson, Andrea Carboni, Samuele Birindelli, J. Daniel Akpa, Alessandro Bianco, Gaetano Castrovilli, G. Kyriakopoulos, Omari Forson and Keita Baldé.

ℹ️ Team News: Napoli

Napoli manager Antonio Conte has multiple availability issues to deal with. Alessandro Buongiorno (Adductor injury), Stanislav Lobotka (Ankle sprain) and Juan Jesus (Torn thigh muscle) won’t be making appearances.

From our viewpoint, Partenopei might play in a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting Devis Vásquez, Luca Marianucci, Ardian Ismajli, Mattia Viti, E. Quartsin Gyasi, Alberto Grassi, Liam Henderson, Giuseppe Pezzella, Jacopo Fazzini, Liberato Cacace and Sebastiano Esposito.

🧠 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that SSC Napoli have it within them to get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

At the same time, Parma won’t find it easy getting on the scoresheet but we think it’s quite likely that they will be seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a fairly comfortable 1-3 margin for SSC Napoli after 90 minutes.
