Serie A 2025-2026: Milan-Napoli, the likely lineups

The Sunday of the fifth day of Serie A closes with the big match between Milan and Napoli. Kickoff at 8:45 p.m. at the ‘Meazza’. Clear path so far for the Azzurri who are looking for their fifth consecutive victory while the Rossoneri with a success could just hook them in first place in the standings.

Allegri recovers Leao in attack but the Portuguese should start from the bench: confirmation for Pulisic and Gimenez. Confirmation en bloc for midfield, headed by Modric, and defense, led by Gabbia. Between the posts Maignan is back from the first minute.

Conte has to deal with numerous absences in defense: Rrahmani and Buongiorno will be missing, so it will be Beukema and Juan Jesus’ turn; on the left out Spinazzola and Olivera, ready Gutierrez. Hojlund confirmed in attack, with Politano, Anguissa, De Bruyne and McTominay supporting in midfield.

Probable lineups

Milan (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Estupiñán; Pulisic, Giménez. All. Massimiliano Allegri

Napoli (4-1-4-1): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Beukema, Juan Jesus, Gutiérrez; Lobotka; Politano, Anguissa, De Bruyne, McTominay; Hojlund. All. Antonio Conte
