Napoli and Milan are preparing for the first semifinal of the Italian Super Cup scheduled for this evening, and according to Sky Sport, important insights have emerged regarding the possible choices of the two coaches. The updates mainly concern the midfield and wings, with solutions designed more for balance and management rather than overturning the setups.

Napoli-Milan, lineup updates towards the semifinal

For Milan, the possibility of Modric starting on the bench is gaining ground. This decision would be solely related to the need to give him a rest, without any impact on the hierarchy. In his place, Jashari might start in the lineup, as he has a good chance of being fielded from the first minute. Another possible change concerns the left wing, where Estupiñán is favored over Bartesaghi.

On the Napoli front, Antonio Conte is considering a defensive adjustment. The idea, again according to Sky Sport, is to position Di Lorenzo in the back line, with Politano moving forward to the right midfield wing. This solution would provide more coverage and width on the flank.

On the left, Spinazzola is favored for a starting position. Up front, Elmas is expected to start from the first minute, while Lang is likely to begin on the bench, ready to come on during the match. These choices outline a scenario that is close to final for a semifinal that promises balance and intensity.
