Napoli, Ancelotti's probable starting eleven for the match against Parma

"Be careful not to underestimate any club". This is what Carlo Ancelotti will be telling his team ahead of the midweek clash against Parma. His Partenopei will be facing off with Juventus this upcoming Saturday, but they first must secure the three points against the giallazzuri tomorrow. Now in second place with 12 points, victory is essential if they are to stay within reach of the bianconeri.

Aginst Roberto D'Aversa's team, it will be a game in which the coach will change a lot compared to the last match won in Turin. According to what has been collected by Francesco Modugno for Sky Sport, Ospina has is confirmed to be in goal; in defense Hysaj is still favored over Malcuit (who will therefore have to wait before making his debut) on the right flank, with Mario Rui on the left, and Maksimovic and Koulibaly in the center of defense.

As for the midfield, Hamsik will rest, leaving room for Allan; the ballot is still alive between Ounas and Verdi, while Fabian Ruiz will most likely start from the bench, given that Diawara is likely to be a starter. The last payer in the middle will be Zielinski.

Insigne will start in his regular left attacking position: as already demonstrated in previous seasons, the number 24 does not need to stop and, if Ancelotti's intention to win will be successful, he will continue to start. Milik is likely to play alongside him up top.

This is the probable 4-4-2 of Napoli against Parma at the San Paolo: Ospina; Hysaj, Maksimovic,Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Verdi, Allan, Diawara, Zielinski; Milik, Insigne.
