Napoli vs Parma Preview: Predictions, Team Updates, and Lineups

Serie A champions Napoli will aim for victory against Parma on Wednesday evening at the Stadio Maradona. After two consecutive draws, the Partenopei are determined to secure three points on home soil. They recently faced Hellas Verona, resulting in a 2-2 stalemate, and drew 2-2 with Inter Milan in an intense matchup.

Match Overview

Last weekend, Napoli drew with Inter, allowing their title rivals to maintain their lead. Scott McTominay was pivotal for Napoli, scoring twice to equalize after Inter’s Antonio Conte was sent off. Despite these draws, Napoli boasts an impressive 19-game unbeaten streak at the Stadio Maradona, with 14 wins during this period.

Currently sitting behind Inter and AC Milan in the Serie A standings, Napoli seeks to capitalize on their home advantage against Parma, who have struggled in recent seasons. Parma has only claimed one victory in their last five league matches at the Maradona.

Parma’s Current Form

Parma’s recent form shows some improvement, gaining 10 points from six matches, which has lifted them to 14th place in the league, seven points clear of the relegation zone. They secured a vital win against Lecce, taking advantage of their opponents’ disciplinary issues. Mateo Pellegrino has been a standout performer, notching crucial goals.

Team Updates

• Napoli: Missing Kevin De Bruyne, Frank Anguissa, Billy Gilmour, and Romelu Lukaku. David Neres returns but Juan Jesus misses out due to suspension.
• Parma: Injuries affecting Matija Frigan, Zion Suzuki, and Abdoulaye Ndiaye. Mathias Lovik’s status is uncertain for the match.

Possible Lineups

Prediction
