Sunday 29 January at 20:45 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, the derby of the sun between Naples and Rome.
It will be about the first match of the second round and will have considerable weight for both teams, great rivals. Roma will try to stay on the Champions League train, while Napoli will have to continue to keep their distance from their pursuers so as not to ruin what has been done so far in the league.
Below are the probable formations that the two teams will line up on the field.
Probable formation of Napoli
Spalletti should field his evergreen 4-3-3. The Napoli players who could take the field as starters against Roma are the following:
Goalkeeper
Defenders
- Mario Rui
- Minjae
- Rrahmani
- By Lorenzo
Midfielders
Forwards
No special ballots are foreseen. In midfield there is some faint hope of seeing Elmas in place of Zielinski. In attack, however, little chance to see Lush in place of politan.
Probable formation of Roma
Mourinho should field the usual Christmas tree, using the 3-4-2-1. The Roma players who could take the field as starters against Napoli are the following:
Goalkeeper
- Rui Patrick
Defenders
- Ibanez
- Smalling
- Mancini
Midfielders
- Spinazzola
- Matic
- Crystalline
- Zalewski
Forwards
- Dybala
- Pellegrini
- Abraham
The only possible ballot is between Spinazzola and El Shaarawy, who are playing it equal for a starting position.
