Antonio Conte is not expected to make changes to his Napoli XI for the Supercoppa Final against Bologna, while the Rossoblu will likely look to Thijs Dallinga up front.
It kicks off at 20:00 CET (19:00 GMT) in Riyadh.

The Partenopei are the defending Serie A champions and beat Milan in the Supercoppa semifinal last week, while Bologna, the 2024-25 Coppa Italia champions, beat Inter on penalties.
The Partenopei must cope without the injured Alex Meret, Kevin De Bruyne, Billy Gilmour and Frank Zambo Anguissa, while Bologna will be without Federico Bernardeschi, Lukasz Skorupski, Remo Freuler and Nicolò Casale.
According to Corriere dello Sport and Gazzetta, Conte won’t change the formation that beat Milan on Thursday, which means Juan Jesus will get the nod in central defence, leaving Alessandro Buongiorno on the bench.
