Hojlund Returns as Cuesta Faces Parma-Napoli with Ondrejka, Strefezza Attack
Parma host Napoli at the Ennio Tardini for the 32nd round of Serie A. The match arrives with selection questions on both sides.
Carlos Cuesta must cope with the suspension of Pellegrino. Cuesta faces the task of reshaping his attack without the suspended player.
The Parma coach is leaning towards a light front line. Ondrejka is preferred over Oristanio to link with Strefezza. The plan emphasises a Strefezza attack that can stretch Napoli’s back three.
Midfield contains a key selection dilemma. The choice is between Ordoñez and Sorensen. The 2004-born Argentine Ordoñez currently holds the advantage.
Antonio Conte regains Rasmus Hojlund for the trip. Hojlund returns after recovering from an intestinal virus. He is available to start after missing the Milan clash.
Matteo Politano should keep his place following his decisive goal against Milan. In defence, Olivera is set to join Juan Jesus and Buongiorno in the back three.
