Napoli can rise to the top of the Serie A table with a win over Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio tomorrow evening at the Stadio Olimpico.
Team News
Napoli have a number of absences heading into the match, with Stanislav Lobotka, Hirving Lozano, Andre Zambo Anguissa and Kevin Malcuit all out injured with various issues. Diego Demme is at risk of being suspended should he pick up a yellow card in the match.
The Partenopei are looking for a strong win against Lazio after their painful Europa League elimination to Barcelona earlier this week. They’ll be equally as fatigued as the Biancocelesti, who drew 2-2 with Porto on Thursday.
Expected Starting Lineup
Victor Osimhen is expected to start up front against Lazio, although Luciano Spalletti might decide to deploy Andrea Petagna instead. Elif Elmas could start over Matteo Politano and Dries Mertens could find his way into the starting eleven in place of Piotr Zielinski.
Below is Napoli’s expected starting lineup for the Serie A match against Lazio.
Napoli (4-2-3-1): Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Demme, Ruiz; Politano, Zielinski, Insigne; Osimhen.
