Serie A: Napoli vs Venezia – probable line-ups and where to watch on TV

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is favourite over Matteo Politano for a starting spot in Napoli’s attack against Eusebio Di Francesco’s Venezia.

It kicks off at 15:00 CET (14:00 GMT) at the Stadio Maradona in Naples.

Kvaratskhelia has made a quick recovery from a minor ligament injury and according to Corriere dello Sport and other reputable Italian sources, he will start as a left winger in a 4-3-3 formation with David Neres on the right and Romelu Lukaku in attack.

Alessandro Buongiorno is the only unavailable player for the Partenopei, who need a win to join Atalanta at the top of the Serie A table.

Juan Jesus is favourite to replace Buongiorno, while the rest of the line-up won’t change as Antonio Conte will once again rely on Scott McTominay, André-Franck Zambo Anguissa and Stanislav Lobotka in central midfield.

Venezia must cope without Sagrado, Svoboda, Duncan, Doumbia and Raimondo. Candela is favourite over Andersen, while Oristanio will join Pohjanpalo in attack.
