Napoli is preparing to host Fiorentina in a Serie A clash. Despite some minor fitness concerns, Scott McTominay is expected to be in Napoli’s central midfield. Coach Antonio Conte has announced that the team will play in a 3-5-2 formation for this match against Fiorentina.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 15:00 CET (14:00 GMT) at Stadio Maradona.
Napoli needs to secure a victory to keep pace with Inter, who recently won against Monza.
Key players David Neres, Pasquale Mazzocchi, and Frank Anguissa are currently sidelined due to injuries. Conte is likely to field a similar lineup to the one that drew 1-1 against Inter in their previous game, with Romelu Lukaku and Giacomo Raspadori leading the attack.
Fiorentina will be without Edoardo Bove, Andrea Colpani, and Michael Folorunsho for this match. Additionally, Rolando Mandragora and Nicolò Zaniolo are suspended.
Fiorentina is expected to make some rotations to their squad as they have an important Conference League match against Panathinaikos coming up next week. They suffered a 3-2 defeat to Panathinaikos in the first leg of their Conference League Round of 16 tie.
Moise Kean is expected to start alongside Lucas Beltran in attack for Fiorentina. David de Gea is set to return as goalkeeper after being rested in their last European game.
