🗞️ Team News: Napoli

Pasquale Mazzocchi (Calf injury), David Neres (Hamstring injury) and Frank Anguissa (Calf injury) will be missing for Napoli manager Antonio Conte.

In all likelihood, Partenopei could use the 3-5-2 system this time, beginning the first half with Alex Meret, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, A. Buongiorno, Matteo Politano, Philip Billing, Stanislav Lobotka, Scott McTominay, Leonardo Spinazzola, Romelu Lukaku and Giacomo Raspadori.

📋 Team News: Fiorentina

Fiorentina boss Raffaelle Palladino has to choose a team with limited availability. Michael Folorunsho (Thigh problems), Yacine Adli (Ankle problems), Edoardo Bove (heart problems) and Andrea Colpani (Bruise on ankle) are those who can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that La Viola will likely play in a 3-5-2 formation using David De Gea, Marin Pongracic, Pablo Mari, Luca Ranieri, Dodo, Cher Ndour, Danilo Cataldi, Nicolo Fagioli, Robin Gosens, Lucas Beltran and Moise Kean.

⚡ Prediction

Our feeling is that SSC Napoli will probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

However, Fiorentina may well struggle getting goals but we can see them getting the chances to score, too.

Accordingly, we see a comfortable 3-1 margin for SSC Napoli at full-time.
