Napoli update ahead of Genoa: Conte set to switch formation | OneFootball

There’s less and less time until the next match for reigning Italian champions Napoli. This evening, in fact, at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, the Azzurri will take the field for the match against Genoa, valid for the sixth round of the Serie A championship.

Napoli, ready to change formation against Genoa: Neres replaces De Bruyne

To respond to Inter’s challenge and put pressure on Milan, who just a few hours later will face Juventus at the Stadium, Napoli will necessarily have to bring home all three points in the match against Genoa, scheduled for this evening at the Maradona in Fuorigrotta. The Azzurri, coming off the European efforts of the match against Sporting Lisbon, could sensationally change their tactical setup in this match, returning to the 4-3-3 formation.

Conte’s idea, in fact, which emerged in the last few hours, is to start David Neres from the first minute, who so far this season has found very little playing time compared to last season. The one to pay the price, due to the decision of the coach from Salento, would be the much-discussed Kevin De Bruyne, who should have already been rested in the home match against Pisa.

Probable lineups

NAPOLI (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Beukema, Juan Jesus, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay; Politano, Hojlund, Neres.

GENOA (4-2-3-1): Leali; Norton Cuffy, Ostigard, Vasquez, Martin; Frendrup, Masini; Ellertson, Malinovksi, Venturino; Ekuban.

Vincenzo Schiavo
