The match represents a crucial appointment for both teams, with Antonio Conte's Napoli aiming to confirm the consistency shown in the Super Cup final, while Davide Nicola's Cremonese aims to surprise the Neapolitans on home ground.

Antonio Conte's choices

Antonio Conte confirms the starting eleven already seen in the Super Cup, favoring continuity and defensive solidity. In goal will be Milinkovic-Savic, while the three-man line in front of the goalkeeper will consist of Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, and Juan Jesus, once again preferred over Buongiorno for his experience and reliability.

In midfield, on the wings, Politano and Spinazzola are confirmed, while in the center, the setups of Lobotka and McTominay, pillars of the play and interception phase, remain untouched. In attack, the tandem will be formed by Hojlund as the offensive terminal, with Neres and Elmas behind him, who won the last-minute ballot over Lang.

Official Napoli line-up (3-4-2-1): Milinkovic-Savic; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Juan Jesus; Politano, Lobotka, McTominay, Spinazzola; Neres, Hojlund, Elmas. Coach: Conte
