Parma visits Stadio Diego Armando Maradona for clash against Napoli.
As Napoli aim for consecutive victories under Antonio Conte, they welcome a buoyant Parma side to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, in a clash where both teams look to fortify their promising Serie A campaigns.
Napoli
After a humiliating defeat in their league opener, Napoli bounced back with a convincing 3-0 victory over Bologna on matchday two. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was back at his best, delivering a sublime pass to set up Giovanni Di Lorenzo for the opener before adding his name to the scoresheet in the seventy-fourth minute.
New signing David Neres came off the bench for his debut, providing an assist for fellow substitute Giovanni Simeone to seal the victory. This win secured Antonio Conte’s first league triumph in charge of the club. "These are three points that are the start of our journey, my first three points as Napoli coach," Conte said after the game.
Currently in tenth place, Gli Azzurri will aim to make it back-to-back victories when they welcome Parma this weekend, hoping to climb further up the table. A head-to-head advantage should provide inspiration, having won ten out of the last seventeen Serie A encounters against Parma.
Furthermore, they have kept a clean sheet in each of their last two Serie A meetings with Parma and could go three games without conceding for the first time in the competition. However, their defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 of their last 20 Serie A games.
Conte is expected to retain the 3-4-2-1 formation seen against Bologna, with Giacomo Raspadori in attack. New signing David Neres, who impressed in his debut cameo, is a strong contender to start up front, while Lukaku, who recently joined the club, could also be available.
Parma
Parma are riding high following their return to the top flight, having picked up four points out of a possible six from the first two league games. This includes a 2-1 victory over AC Milan in their last outing.
An early opener from Dennis Man in the second minute, followed by Matteo Cancellieri’s strike in the 77th minute, secured the win for Fabio Pecchia’s side. This victory gave Parma their first league win of the season.
The Ducali currently sit in fifth place, tied on points with fourth-placed Genoa, who have the same goal difference. Bolstered by their impressive start to the season, Parma will head into Saturday’s encounter in high spirits, aiming to make a mark at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Having avoided defeat in their opening two league games, Parma have a chance to go unbeaten in their first three Serie A games for the first time since the 2002-2003 season. A 4—2—3—1 formation is expected against Napoli, with Ange-Yoan Bonny leading the attack.
