Napoli-Empoli, Conte has chosen the starting eleven: what’s new
Today, at 8:45 p.m., Napoli hosts Empoli at the Maradona for the postponement of the 32nd day of Serie A. The Azzurri must respond to the Inter side that beat Cagliari and moved to +6 on the Conte-coached team.
The coach of the partenopei is grappling with several absences. During the week came the news of the’injury to Buongiorno, one of the key men in the defense. As if that were not enough, Di Lorenzo and Anguissa are disqualified and therefore unavailable. Against the Tuscans, a team in search of points for the salvation sprint, a rather unprecedented Napoli will take the field.
Conte will rely on the 4-3-3. In goal, of course, space will be given to Meret. The back pack will consist of Mazzocchi (in place of Di Lorenzo), Rrahmani, Juan Jesus (called upon not to make Buongiorno regret) and Olivera.

In midfield, Gilmour, Lobotka and McTominay will act. No doubt about the offensive trident that will see Politano, Lukaku and Neres on the field. The record is slightly in favor of Napoli, which, in 32 confrontations, has won 14 times against Empoli’s 12 successes (six draws). Last year, in the challenge played at the Maradona, the success went to the Tuscans: 1-0 the final with a goal signed by Kovalenko in full recovery. Also in 2021/22, Empoli managed to win at home to Napoli, again by 1-0.
