Reunion time. If the rivalry between Napoli and Juventus no longer needs to be presented, this Sunday evening, at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, the clash between the two teams allows Antonio Conte and Luciano Spalletti to reunite with their respective former teams – the first coached Juve between 2011 and 2014 and the second coached Napoli between 2021 and 2023, but above all to offer a first confrontation between the two technicians in official competition. If the Partenopei can temporarily regain their first place in the event of success, the Banconieri hope to win the top 5 of the Italian championship. The meeting can be followed live with commentary on French Football Weekly from 8:45 p.m.
For this match, Antonio Conte must compose without Zambo Anguissa, De Bruyne, Gilmour, Guttierez, Lobotka, Meret and Lukaku and therefore aligns a 3-4-3 with Milinkovic-Savic in the cages and a defense of three Beukema, Rrhamani and Buongiorno. Di Lorenzo and Olivera are the pistons while McTominay and Elmas will lead the midfield. Finally Neres and Lang will feed Hojlund, alone at the forefront. Luciano Spalletti, for his part, is deprived of Bremer, Gatti, Milik, Pinsoglio, Rugani and Vlahovic and therefore starts with a 3-5-2 with Di Gregorio in goals and a three-way defense Kalulu-Kelly-Koopmeiners. Cabiaso and Cabal occupy the corridors while Thuram and McKennie accompany Locatelli in the heart of the game. Finally, Conceição and Yildiz lead the attack. Jonathan David therefore starts on the bench.
The official compositions:
Naples: Milinkovic-Savic – Beukema, Rrhamani, Buongiorno – Di Lorenzo, Elmas, McTominay, Olivera – Neres, Lang – Hojlund
Juventus: Di Gregorio – Kalulu, Kelly, Koopmeiners – Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cabal – Conceição, Yildiz
