Serie A 2024-2025: Napoli-Venezia, the likely lineups
Napoli-Venezia, probable formations
Napoli è determined to end the year with a victory in front of their fans, aiming for their third consecutive victory. After the double slip against Lazio, the partenopei reacted with two away successes, overcoming Torino and Genoa. Now at the Maradona comes Venezia, a team that has regained solidity and results: Eusebio Di Francesco’s lagunari have not lost in three matches and have dropped out of last place in the standings, now occupied by Monza. On the record front, Napoli and Venezia have faced each other 26 times: as many as half of the challenges ended in a draw. Napoli has claimed 9 wins against the Venetians’ 4.
Antonio Conte è is ready to field Kvaratskhelia again from the first minute: the Georgian has cleared his medial collateral injury and is back available. Room also for David Neres, who will act together with McTominay and Lukaku in an attack with great potential. In defense, Buongiorno's absence will be covered once again by Juan Jesus, flanked by Rrahmani.
Di Francesco, on the other hand, does not expect any changes to the eleven that overcame Cagliari. Pohjanpalo will be the point man, supported by Busio and Oristanio. The defense, deprived of Svoboda, will be led by Idzes, with Stankovic now the undisputed master of the lagoon goal.
