Team News

Parma
  • Zaccardo has nearly joined Milan, so he will most likely not be on the field against Napoli.
  • Benalouane and Santacroce are in competition to replace him in the defensive trio.
  • Biabiany is not available, so Rosi will play on the right flank.
Napoli
  • Coach Mazzarri has his whole roster available except for Behrami, who is suspended.
  • Having his full defence fit and ready to play, the manager will probably field Gamberini and Britos together with captain Cannavaro.
  • Zuniga and Armero are battling for the starting spot on the left flank, with the latter favoured to sit on the bench.

Prediction

  • Parma managed to grab one point against Juventus and then travelled to Verona to get another. They are unbeaten in the last 5 matches and they still haven't lost at home. The position in the table is high and morale is even higher.
  • Napoli couldn't get past Fiorentina last week at the Franchi and Juventus took advantage by gaining two more points and widening the gap at the top. Now Mazzarri faces a tricky match here, while Juventus will already have played against a more beatable Genoa.
  • The hosts are in no need of points, so expect them to play in a balanced formation and contain Napoli's pressure. Without Biabiany on the right flank, Donadoni will probably tell his midfield to attack through the middle, therefore keeping Amauri on the bench since less crosses will be attempted.
