Serie A 2023-2024: Napoli-Salernitana, the likely lineups
Napoli-Salernitana, probable formations
The Campania derby between Napoli and Salernitana promises to be highly tense. The Azzurri coached by Mazzarri, who have scored only one home win in their last six matches in front of their home crowd, have slipped to ninth place in the standings and are desperate for a win to avoid losing further ground from the Champions zone. D'on the other hand, the granata are also not going through a good moment, always finding themselves at the bottom of the standings and coming off a defeat against Juventus.
Both coaches have to deal with some important absences. Osimhen and Anguissa are engaged in the African Cup of Nations with their respective national teams, while Mazzarri will have to do without the disqualified Mazzocchi, who è also a former player in the match. As for the lineup, it seems that Napoli will opt for a four-man defense, in midfield there could be room for Gaetano flanked by Lobotka and Zielinski, while in attack Simeone seems favored over Raspadori.
For Salernitana, Inzaghi will have to replace Maggiore in the midfield, who was stopped by the sports judge. In addition, this could be Bohinen's last game in the Granata shirt before his transfer to Genoa. Forward, Simy should be supported by Candreva and Tchaouna. Between the posts, Ochoa seems to be in good shape, but Costil could have the advantage.
ùProbable Napoli formation (4-3-3): Gollini – Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Juan Jesus, Mario Rui – Gaetano, Lobotka, Zielinski – Politano, Simeone, Kvaratskhelia. All. Mazzarri.
Probable formation Salernitana (3-4-2-1): Costil – Daniliuc, Fazio, Gyomber – Sambia, Bohinen, Legowski, Bradaric – Candreva, Tchaouna – Simy. All. F. Inzaghi.
