Although the Qatar 2022 World Cup is in its hottest phase, Napoli has no intention of stopping and running the risk of losing the splendid form shown so far.
Il 7 December at 18:45, Spalletti's team will face the Turkish team Antalyaspor in a friendly match. The Azzurri will play at the home of the Turks, with the main objective of demonstrating that the team is still cohesive and competitive despite the break in the World Cup.
Below are the probable formations that the two teams could deploy.
Probable formation of Napoli
Spalletti should bet on classic 4-3-3, trademark of this Napoli. Napoli's starting lineup against Antalyaspor could be as follows:
Goalkeeper
Defenders
- By Lorenzo
- Jesus
- Ostigard
- Mario Rui
Midfielders
Forwards
In defense there could be a run-off between Ostigard and Rrahmani, who needs to taste the field again after a long stop. Ballot also in midfield between Demme and Lobotka, given that the first of the two needs to accumulate minutes in his legs.
Probable formation of Antalyaspor
Antalyaspor is taking the field this year often taking advantage of the 4-2-3-1. The probable formation of the Turkish team should be as follows:
Goalkeeper
- Docile
Defenders
- Floranus
- Gerxhaliu
- Soil
- Sertel
Midfielders
- Aydogdu
- Ozmert
- Erdilman
Forwards
- Luiz Adriano
- Larsson
- Bayrakdar
In goal there could be a runoff between Uysal and Boffin, both used a lot this year. The young coach Sahin Nuri will have to give up Wright, his top scorer engaged in the World Cup with the USA.
