Monza makes trip to red-hot Napoli.
As Napoli aim to capitalize on their momentum and home advantage to leap into first place, Monza, under pressure to secure their first league win, arrive at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in search of redemption this Sunday evening.
Napoli
Napoli recently secured a resounding 5-0 victory over Palermo, advancing to the Coppa Italia round of 16. An early brace from Cyril Ngonge set the tone, followed by goals from Juan Jesus, David Neres, and Scott McTominay, setting up a clash with Lazio in December at the Stadio Olimpico.
Antonio Conte, who made significant changes to his lineup, remarked, “We're building solid foundations with players who have injected fresh energy. It's been two and a half months since our pre-season training camp, and I'm sure the work is paying off.”
In Serie A, Napoli extended their unbeaten streak to four matches with a goalless draw against Juventus, placing them second in the league standings, one point behind leaders Torino. A home victory against Monza would elevate their tally to 13 points, a feat they have frequently achieved in recent seasons.
Against Sunday's opposition, Napoli have a mixed Serie A record with two wins, scoring exactly four goals in each, but also a draw and a loss without finding the net. Conte could become the sixth Napoli manager to win his first three Serie A home matches should his team secure a victory.
With a likely 4—3—3 formation featuring Matteo Politano, Romelu Lukaku, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Napoli will aim for another home success, although they will miss Alex Meret due to a muscle injury.
Monza
Monza recently secured a 3-1 victory over Brescia in the Coppa Italia second round. However, their Serie A campaign has been less successful, as they remain winless with a record of 0 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses.
Alessandro Nesta, who replaced Raffaele Palladino before the season, is aware of the pressure to improve the team's performance. "The Serie A standings? I don't look at it, also because I know very well that I have to win some games; we need nastiness, which we've had at times and not at others," Nesta commented after the Brescia match.
A 3—4—2—1 formation with Milan Đurić leading the attack is anticipated from the former Italian defender as they face Napoli.
