Napoli-Pisa, official line-ups: surprise Elmas replaces Anguissa

Napoli returns to the field after the bitter debut in the Champions League against Manchester City. The Azzurri, in their second home game of the season at the Maradona, face Pisa, newly promoted to the top league after 33 years, eager to perform well. Conte is preparing some changes to give some players a breather after the European commitment.

For Napoli, Alex Meret returns between the posts, after two matches played by Milinkovic-Savic. In defense, the Buongiorno-Beukema duo is confirmed, with captain Di Lorenzo, who was sent off against City, and Spinazzola confirmed on the flanks. A surprise in midfield, where Gilmour, who has found little space so far, will play instead of Lobotka. In attack, Conte relies again on Hojlund, with Lucca, a former player, eager from the bench. The Lecce coach also does not give up on McTominay, confirmed wide on the left, with Politano on the right, De Bruyne and, surprisingly, Elmas preferred to Anguissa behind the Danish striker.

Gilardino changes some players compared to the last home match against Udinese. Semper is in goal. In defense, there is Lusuardi, with Canestrelli and Caracciolo. Leris and Bonfanti are wide, with the latter replacing Angori. Surprisingly, Tramoni starts from the bench, with Akinsanmiro as a midfielder, alongside Marin, supporting Aebischer. Upfront, the duo Moreo-Nzola aims to trouble the Neapolitan defense.

Here are the eleven for the Maradona match:

NAPOLI (4-1-4-1): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Beukema, Buongiorno, Spinazzola; Gilmour; Politano, Anguissa, De Bruyne, McTominay; Hojlund. Coach: Conte

PISA (3-5-2): Semper; Canestrelli, Caracciolo, Lusuardi; Leris, Akinsanmiro, Aebischer, Marin, Bonfanti; Nzola, Moreo. Coach: Gilardino
