Napoli
- Lorenzo Crisetig is the only unavailable player for Zdenek Zeman, who will field Daniele Conti in the heart of the midfield instead.
- Modibo Diakité is favourite over Luca Rossettini to play at centre-back alongside Luca Ceppitelli.
- Rafa Benitez will likely rotate most of his team after the successful but tiring trip to Wolfsburg, with just a couple of players from that line-up set to keep their places.
- Duvan Zapata will surely get some playing time, but Gonzalo Higuain may start once again. The same applies to Lorenzo Insigne and Marek Hamsik.
Napoli have played well, but unlucky against Roma Lazio (refs not giving a penalty in the Roma game - Lazio scoring an offside goal) Fiorentina was a good performance as was Wolfsburg - closer to the level where fans expect Napoli to be. This is a must win, because if Lazio lose to Juve the gap is 5points to 2nd with both Napoli and Lazio to play each other. This match is as important as any this season.
@calciozucchini I don't think Lazio will lose today (my money are on a draw), but I do agree Napoli has to win, they owe this to the fans and it's the only way to try to make this season right.
do not mind the comment on Lazio not losing, that was a complete overlook
