Serie A 2025-2026: Lecce-Napoli, the probable formations

The midweek Serie A round opens with the challenge between Lecce and Napoli. Kickoff at 6:30 p.m. at ‘Via del Mare’. The Italian champions, galvanized by their success with Inter, aim to consolidate first place in the standings, shared with Roma. On the other side, the Giallorossi will try to redeem themselves after the away loss to Udinese.

Di Francesco recovers Coulibaly in midfield: the Malian will start from 1′ along with Ramadani and newcomer Maleh. In attack, Stulic risks a place: Camarda is pawing for a starting shirt; Pierotti and Banda, favored over Tete Morente, will act on the flanks.

Conte loses De Bruyne and Neres to injury but recovers Rrahmani and Hojlund although both are expected to start from the bench. Lucca will lead the Azzurri’s attack, with Politano and Lang on either side of him. Midfield keys entrusted to Gilmour, in defense Beukema is a candidate for a 1′ shirt.
