If there was anywhere for Napoli not to be expected to slip up, it is at home to a Cremonese side that has not won a Serie A match all season. That being said, their Matchday 22 fixture will be a repeat of the Coppa Italia tie which actually went in favour of the Grigiorossi.
Napoli now have a commanding 13-point lead at the top of the table and recently beat Spezia 3-0 in Liguria. It seems like nothing can stop Luciano Spalletti’s side.
As for Cremonese, they are rooted to the bottom of the table and put in a limp performance against Lecce last time out and were beaten 2-0. This looks like an impossible task for them.
Napoli vs Cremonese: Predicted lineups
Luciano Spalletti is expecting to have almost his entire squad available against Cremonese, with even Diego Demme possibly making a comeback to the bench. Given the relentlessness with which Napoli plays each Serie A game, they are expected to line up strongly.
David Okereke is the major concern for Cremonese as he was not able to be introduced from the bench against Lecce and they would certainly rather that he started this match against the league leaders.
Napoli predicted XI vs Cremonese (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Min-jae, Mario Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Lozano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia.
Cremonese predicted XI vs Napoli (3-5-2): Carnesecchi; Ferrari, Chiriches, Vasquez; Sernicola, Pickel, Castagnetti, Meite, Valeri; Ciofani, Dessers.
