Spezia vs Napoli Team news :
Luciano Spalletti is in the fortunate position of having a firing squad at his disposal, so he is likely to use a familiar lineup on Sunday, starting Victor Osimhen up front as the leader of the Capocannoniere. The Nigerian striker has scored 14 times in Serie A this season, equaling his total from last season, thanks to his stunning strike last weekend.
Despite scoring three goals in three league games against Spezia, including his one goal this season in the top flight, Giacomo Raspadori may be moved back to the bench. Meanwhile, Matteo Politano and Hirving Lozano battle it out once more for the starting position on Napoli’s right flank.
Spezia, in contrast to their opponents, will face one of their most difficult matches of the season with a lengthy absence list that includes several key squad members. Emmanuel Gyasi must serve a suspension, and Simone Bastoni and fellow forward M’Bala Nzola are both out with injuries.
Even coach Luca Gotti has had a hip operation, so he may not be able to walk the field. Szymon Zurkowski, who arrived in January, is also out, but Eldor Shomurodov and Salvatore Esposito, who arrived more recently, are likely to start.
