Napoli and Juventus face off at 8:45 p.m. in the Sunday post-match of the 14th day of Serie A. Antonio Conte’s Neapolitans, second in the standings with 28 points, are still unbeaten at home and are coming off a valuable win in Rome last week: the goal is to replicate Inter’s performance to return to the league lead. Luciano Spalletti&#8217s Bianconeri are seventh in the standings and have yet to lose in the league since the Tuscan coach’s arrival. In the last weekend they beat Cagliari at home and in case of victory they will overtake Como returning to the Europa zone. For both teams, this is a crucial crossroads for the continuation of the season.

Hojlund will be Napoli&#8217s starting striker, on the three-quarter will be Neres and one between Lang and Politano. Lobotka has forfeited, in midfield McTominay will play with Elmas while on the flanks will be Di Lorenzo and Olivera. In defense Beukema, Rrahmani and Buongiorno in front of Milinkovic-Savic. The Lecce coach in the press conference had thanked the second lines: “I am happy with the choice made, because we will play seven games in a very short time, you cannot always go on with the same. We know there will be suffering, let&#8217s put our minds at ease. It takes great synergy and responsibility from everyone”

Spalletti has to deal with emergency in defense, neither Galli nor Bremer are there, and the Tuscan coach will repropose Kelly and Koopmeiners along with Kalulu in the defense trio. In midfield Thuram and Locatelli will act as a filter, on the flanks McKennike and Cambiaso. Up front, the inventiveness is entrusted to Conceiçao and Yildiz, who play behind central forward David. “This is a game that will say a lot about our future. It is an exam and we have to be ready. They start with certainties, we are looking for them. Winning is the normal status of Juve. Me and Napoli? I want to take with me all the nice people I have met in these experiences”.

NAPOLI (3-4-2-1): Milinkovic-Savic; Beukema, Rrahmani, Buongiorno; Di Lorenzo, Elmas, McTominay, Olivera; Neres, Lang; Hojlund. All. Conte.
