Team News

Chievo
Napoli
  • Perparim Hetemaj has served his suspension and should return to the starting XI here.
  • Roberto Inglese is expected to join Napoli in January following Arkadiusz Milik's injury, but here he will still to impress here.
  • Faouzi Ghoulam picked up a knee injury against Manchester City in midweek and is set for a long spell on the sidelines.
  • Maurizio Sarri does not seem to be convinced of Mario Rui's fitness, which means Christian Maggio is favourite to play instead.
  • There are growing reports that Pepe Reina will only be fit enough for a place on the bench, which means Luigi Sepe has a strong chance to start in goal.
  • Dries Mertens is also a big doubt after suffering a knock to his thigh against City.

Prediction

  • Chievo have lost twice in a row and therefore dropped a few positions in the table, but they are perfectly on target for a safe mid-table finish.
  • Napoli lost home and away to Manchester City and now see their chances of making the knockout phase of the Champions League are slim. Not only that, but they've lost key man Faouzi Ghoulam for the foreseeable future.
  • This game would usually be straightforward for Napoli, but a difficult match is expected this time around with all things considered.
