Napoli

Last updated: Mon 20 May 2019 10:48
In Brief

2-1 away win over SPAL. Hosting Inter. Diawara, Ounas and Chiriches out. Ospina on a leave. Mertens, Insigne and Maksimovic with the group.

Looking Back

Played an offensive game against SPAL but only managed to score in the second half. Risked a lot at the back, though.

Meret was decisive at the end. Allan dominated in the middle of the park. Luperto caused a penalty but redeemed himself, saving a goal. Milik was poor in the second half.

Looking Ahead

2 wins out of the last 6 at home, as they will next be hosting Inter.

Ounas, Diawara and Chiriches will be out. Insigne made the squad after overcoming a doubt. Mertens and Maksimovic resumed regular training.

Mario Rui, Hysaj, Koulibaly, Albiol, Diawara, Maksimovic, Milik and Allan are one yellow card away from suspension.

Ospina will sit this game out due to a personal leave.

Hysaj and Ghoulam should be preferred to Malcuit and Mario Rui as full-backs. Younes or Insigne could represent the alternative to Mertens in the attack.

Points of Interest

Napoli hosted Inter 72 times: they won 36 and drew 19, losing 17. Overall, they scored 91 goals and conceded 69. They drew 0-0 last time out.

In Brief

Hard-fought 2-0 home win over Chievo Verona. Playing away at Napoli. Vrsaljko and De Vrij out. Politano in the squad.

Looking Back

Had some real troubles overcoming Chievo Verona despite extended ball possession and risking nothing at the back.

Politano was the most dangerous and scored. Good performances for Asamoah, Miranda and Skriniar. Icardi never saw the opponents' goal.

Looking Ahead

Have not conceded more than 1 goal in the last 8. They will next be travelling to Napoli.

Vsaljko and De Vrij are out. Politano recovered in time to make the squad.

Brozovic and D'Ambrosio are back from suspension. Perisic, Borja Valero, Politano, Gagliardini, Skriniar and Martinez are one yellow card away from ban.

Joao Mario was readmitted to the training after being punished for not displaying the right attitude.

Gagliardini and Vecino are contending for a place as holding midfielder. Candreva should prevail over Politano or Keita as a winger. Martinez could be favourite over Icardi in the attack.

Points of Interest

Inter failed to score in 29 out of 72 trips to Napoli, while they kept 21 clean sheets. In 5 occasions they scored more than 2 goals, while they conceded more 13 times.
