Players to Watch

Spezia

Daniel Maldini

The youngster on loan from AC Milan is one of the most promising talents from Itlay. He plays as an attacking midfielder and is known for his dribbling skills and ball control. Spezia midfield depends on the youngster to stop the giants from taking another 3 points to lead in the league. However, he scored 1 goal in his last 8 league games and 1 goal in 2 appearances in the Italian cup.

Napoli

Victor Osimhen

Osimhen has outstanding acceleration over short distances, and as a result, when pressing hard, he reduces the gap between himself and the ball carrier. Since the Nigerian international star has scored 14 league goals this year and has contributed significantly to Napoli's dominance of Italy thus far, he is currently the greatest player in the league.

Match Facts

• Spezia has lost three games in a row.
• Spezia has conceded 2 goals each against their encounter with Roma and Bologna recently.

• Napoli has scored at least two goals in each of their four games against Roma, Salernitana, Cremonese, and Juventus.
• Napoli's attack is their biggest strength so far as they have scored 15 goals in their last four games.

Team and Injury News

Luca Gotti is still dealing with a long list of injuries, so he will require Daniel Maldini to replace the injured Viktor Kovalenko in the lineup. Since Emmanuel Gyasi is also on administrative leave, Eldor Shomurodov might make his club debut.

It doesn't appear that Luciano Spalletti needs to make many changes to his starting lineup in this instance. His starting lineup has been performing admirably, and when given a chance, the substitutes continue this strong play.
