This Wednesday evening, Naples hosted Parma in a late match on the 16th day of Serie A, a crucial meeting in the title race while Inter and AC Milan occupy the first places. For this meeting, Antonio Conte had lined up a solid eleven with McTominay at the helm in the middle, Rasmus Højlund at the forefront and captain Di Lorenzo as boss of the defense. Opposite, Parma presented itself with Ondrejka and Cutrone at the head of the attack.
But as too often in recent weeks, Naples lacked efficiency. Despite several adjustments, including the entry of the in-form Neres at the hour mark, the Neapolitans never managed to make the difference against a well-organized opponent. Result: a third consecutive draw, synonymous with precious points left on the way in the fight for the Scudetto. With this result, Naples remains on the podium with 39 points, ahead of Juventus on goal difference, but leaves the possibility for the two Milanese clubs to widen the gap. For its part, Parma maintains a modest 14th place in the ranking.
