Napoli is gearing up for a crucial Serie A match against Monza, with the potential to temporarily join Inter at the top of the league standings. The match is scheduled for 18:00 CET (16:00 GMT) at Monza’s U-Power Stadium.

Coach Antonio Conte is expected to maintain a 4-3-3 formation despite the absence of David Neres due to injury. Leonardo Spinazzola is likely to replace Neres on the left wing, with Matteo Politano on the right and Romelu Lukaku leading the attack. However, Giacomo Raspadori remains in contention for a starting position.

In defense, Amir Rrahmani and Rafa Marin are set to start as center-backs, filling in for the unavailable Juan Jesus and Alessandro Buongiorno. The midfield trio of Zambo Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, and Scott McTominay is expected to remain unchanged.

Monza faces defensive challenges with veterans Armando Izzo and Danilo D’Ambrosio ruled out. Luca Caldirola will lead the defense, supported by Pedro Pereira and either Andrea Carboni or Tomas Palacios.
