Serie A: Napoli vs Parma, Bologna vs Empoli, Lecce vs Cagliari – probable line-ups | OneFootball

Romelu Lukaku is expected to be thrusted straight into Antonio Conte’s starting line-up for Napoil’s upcoming Serie A clash against Parma on Saturday evening, following the afternoon fixtures of Bologna–Empoli and Lecce-Cagliari.

Lukaku is expected to replace Giacomo Raspadori up front for Napoli, and is likely to be Conte’s only change from last Sunday’s 3-0 win over Bologna.

Following their surprise 2-1 victory over Milan last weekend, Parma are also expected to stick with the same starting line-up.

After losing 3-0 to Napoli in Serie A last time out, Vincenzo Italiano could give a debut to summer signing, centre-forward Thijs Dallinga, who joined in a reported €15m deal from Toulouse. There could also be a rare start for Jesper Karlsson.
