Napoli v Pisa, Maradona set for Conte’s rotation: the manager’s choices | OneFootball

Antonio Conte's Napoli is preparing for the Monday night match against Pisa, scheduled for September 22 at 20:45 at Maradona. After the demanding commitment in the Champions League against Manchester City, the Azzurri coach intends to make a turnover, preserving energy and physical freshness for a team that faces a tough opponent despite its league position. Alberto Gilardino's Pisa, newly promoted, has so far only earned one point but has troubled teams like Atalanta, Roma and Udinese, proving to be not an easy opponent to face. Napoli will therefore seek to redeem the European misstep and win three important points in the championship.

Napoli, the Azzurri seek redemption after the Champions: Gilardino focuses on the double striker

As TMW highlights, Antonio Conte could modify part of the starting eleven seen against Manchester City and Fiorentina. Meret is expected to return to the goal. In defense, along with Di Lorenzo and Beukema, Juan Jesus and Olivera are likely, while Buongiorno and Spinazzola might take a rest. In midfield, Lobotka could give way to Gilmour, with Politano and McTominay on the wings and Anguissa and De Bruyne in the center. In attack, Lucca is ahead of Hojlund to start from the first minute.

Pisa could line up with a 3-4-1-2 double striker: Nzola and Meister should lead the attack, supported by the playmaker Tramoni, in pole position over Akinsamiro. Tourè and Angori will operate on the flanks, while the midfield will be made up of Marin and Aebischer. The three-man defense will consist of Caracciolo in the center, flanked by Canestrelli and Bonfanti, with Semper in goal. Cuadrado's conditions need to be assessed, his call-up remains uncertain.

Possible Napoli formation (4-1-4-1): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Juan Jesus, Beukema, Olivera; Gilmour;  Politano, Anguissa, De Bruyne, McTominay; Lucca;

Possible Pisa formation (3-4-1-2): Semper; Canestrelli, Caracciolo, Bonfanti; Tourè, Marin, Aebischer, Angori; Tramoni; Nzola, Meister
