Napoli-Braga, the probable formations

Napoli-Braga, the probable formations

Napoli receives Braga on the final day of the Champions League group stage. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the 'Maradona'. The Azzurri have their destiny in their own hands to detach the pass for the round of 16: with a win or a draw they are certain to pass the round, but even with a narrow defeat, by virtue of the 2-1 win in the first leg in Portugal and a better goal difference than the Portuguese.

Mazzarri is banking on Osimhen in attack, with Politano and Kvaratskhelia on either side of him. In midfield, Zielinski returns from the 1', with Lobotoka in the box and Anguissa on the right wing. In defense, Juan Jesus will play central, paired with Rrahmani, with Natan at fullback on the left and Di Lorenzo on the right.

Jorge has to do without Niakaté in defense and Djalò in attack: the former è replaced by Paulo Oliveira, while the latter will be replaced by Bruma, with Pizzi and Ricardo Horta completing the trident in the three-quarter, behind the sole striker Banza. Vitor Carvalho and André Horta will form the midfield dam.
