Vieira is likely to maintain consistency in his starting lineup, sticking with the 4-3-3 formation that has brought recent success. Vogliacco is favored over Sabelli on the right, while Pinamonti continues as the central striker, with Balotelli on the bench. Ekuban may return to the squad after a three-month absence.

Napoli faces significant challenges with Kvaratskhelia unavailable in attack and Buongiorno out in defense. Neres is expected to replace Kvaratskhelia, while Juan Jesus will likely fill in for Buongiorno, who may be sidelined for at least a month. Mazzocchi could potentially return to the squad.
