Napoli, one last push before the break: in Bologna to defend top spot | OneFootball

Napoli’s mini tour de force comes to an end tomorrow afternoon at the “Dall’Ara”, and after two consecutive draws — the latest in the Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt — they are looking for redemption and consistency. Kick-off is at 3:00 PM for a match that promises to be a spectacle against a confident Bologna side, still unbeaten in Serie A since September and determined to maintain their positive trend in front of their home fans.

Bologna-Napoli, Conte chooses Elmas: possible choices for the coaches

For Antonio Conte, it will be an opportunity to confirm the solidity shown in European competition and secure first place in the standings before the international break. According to the latest reports from Sky Sport, the coach is expected to field the same eleven seen in the Champions League. In attack, renewed trust in Elmas, once again preferred over Neres and Lang, in a front three completed by Hojlund and Politano. In midfield, Lobotka is ready to take back control of the play after a full physical recovery, while Gutierrez will be confirmed on the left side of defense. Vincenzo Italiano’s Bologna, coming off a positive run that has surprised even the experts, will rely on the freshness of Orsolini and the quality of Ferguson to try to pull off a major upset.

Probable line-ups: Bologna (4-2-3-1) – Skorupski; Holm, Heggem, Lucumì, Lykogiannis; Ferguson, Pobega; Orsolini, Odgaard, Rowe; Castro. Coach: Italiano. Napoli (4-3-3) – Milinkovic-Savic; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno, Gutierrez; Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay; Politano, Hojlund, Elmas. Coach: Conte.
