SSC Napoli

WWDLDL ⚖

Since a losing effort in their last game against Atalanta in Serie A action, Napoli will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, SSC Napoli managed 61% possession and 20 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Atalanta got 12 shots on goal with 6 on target. Aleksei Miranchuk (26'), Gianluca Scamacca (45') and Teun Koopmeiners (88') scored for Atalanta.

Indicating their bias toward high-scoring encounters, the back of the net has been hit 21 times in the last six games in which SSC Napoli have taken to the pitch, giving an average of 3.5 goals per fixture. Their opponents have got 10 of those goals. Putting that to one side, it remains to be seen if that pattern shall continue on in this game.

🗞️ Team News: Monza

Samuele Vignato (Adductor pain), Danilo D'Ambrosio (Muscle injury) and Gianluca Caprari (Cruciate ligament tear) will be missing for Monza boss Raffaelle Palladino. Matteo Pessina cannot play in this game through suspension.

It’s our opinion that Brianzoli look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 system in the match, handing starts to Michele Di Gregorio, Samuele Birindelli, Armando Izzo, Pablo Mari, Andrea Carboni, Roberto Gagliardini, Warren Bondo, Andrea Colpani, Valentin Carboni, Daniel Maldini and Milan Djuric.

📋 Team News: Napoli

From a largely available squad, there’s just a single fitness problem for the Napoli manager Francesco Calzona to contend with. Jesper Lindstrøm (Lumbago) won’t be in action.

It’s our belief that Partenopei might make use of a 4-3-3 system by sending out Alex Meret, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Juan Jesus, Mathias Olivera, A. Zambo Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, Piotr Zielinski, Matteo Politano, Victor Osimhen and K. Kvaratskhelia.

⚡ Prediction

Our thinking is that Monza have it in them to find the back of the net against this SSC Napoli side, although one goal is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat.

We can see both teams to score in a 1-2 victory for SSC Napoli when the referee blows the final whistle. Expecting it to be very competitive.
