The probable formations of Sassuolo-Napoli

Likely lineups

The 23rd day of Serie A will open with the challenge between Sassuolo and Napoli at the Mapei Stadium. On the one hand the neroverdi will try to continue their streak of consecutive useful results, on the other hand Spalletti’s men will want to continue their escape for the Scudetto.

Coach Dionisi is not expected to risk Domenico Berardi, who went out with an injury in the match with Udinese. He will make room for Bajrami in the trident. In midfield, a tight ballot between Lopez and Obiang, with the former having the advantage. In defense, however, the centerbacks will be Erlic and Ruan, with Ferrari on the bench.

In Napoli, however,there could be a minimum of turnover ahead of the Champions League first leg against Eintracht Frankfurt. In midfield, Elmas is expected to play from the 1′ in place of Zielinski, while in attack Politano will replace Lozano.

Likely lineups.

SASSUOLO (4-3-3): Consigli; Zortea, Erlic, Ruan, Rogerio; Frattesi, Maxime Lopez, Matheus Henrique; Bajrami, Pinamonti, Laurienté. All: Dionisi

NAPOLI (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Mario Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Elmas; Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia. All: Spalletti
