- round of XNUMX of the Italian Cup, who will see Napoli face Cremonese, are now around the corner. The match will be played at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium at 21:00 on Tuesday 17 January.
What might seem like a simple formality for Napoli, will represent one for Spalletti's boys show of strength with which to demonstrate their supremacy also in the Italian Cup, a trophy that is not always given the prominence it deserves.
Below are the probable formations that will field the coaches of Naples and Cremonese.
Probable formation of Napoli
Spalletti should field the classic 4-3-3. The probable holders of Napoli against Cremonese are the following:
Goalkeeper
Defenders
- Bereszynski
- Ostigard
- Jesus
- Olive
Midfielders
Forwards
We don't expect run-offs, above all because Spalletti probably intends to rest the starting eleven in the league and at the same time allow the supporters to accumulate minutes.
Probable formation of Cremonese
Ballardini, who will have to deal with a very short bench due to the numerous unavailable players, should field the following starters against Napoli using the 3-4-1-2 formation:
Goalkeeper
- Carnesecchi
Defenders
- Discomfort
- Whitebait
- Henry
- sernicola
Midfielders
- Pimple
- Chestnuts
- Quail
Forwards
- buonaiuto
- Ciofani
- Afena Gyan
Given the many unavailable, we do not expect runoffs.
