After settling for back-to-back draws last week, Serie A champions Napoli will be under pressure to return to winning ways when they host Parma at Stadio Maradona on Wednesday evening. Having already dropped points at home to Hellas Verona before sharing the spoils with title rivals Inter Milan, Antonio Conte’s side know that only three points will suffice to keep their Scudetto defence firmly on track.

Napoli were involved in one of the games of the season on Sunday night at San Siro, where they twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with Inter. Scott McTominay once again proved decisive, scoring both goals, with his second arriving shortly after Conte had been sent off for furious protests over a penalty decision. The result kept the Partenopei within touching distance of the summit, but also underlined a growing issue: draws are no longer enough in such a crowded title race.

Earlier in the week, Napoli had also been forced to settle for a 2-2 draw against Verona, another match in which McTominay dragged them back into contention. Despite that stumble, Conte’s men remain formidable at the Maradona. They are unbeaten in their last 19 Serie A home games, winning 14 of them, and have not lost a league match in Naples for over a year. With both Milan clubs, Juventus and Roma all applying pressure, this fixture represents a must-win scenario.

Parma arrive with far less expectation but growing confidence. Carlos Cuesta’s side have quietly improved in recent weeks, taking 10 points from their last six league games to move up to 14th and create a seven-point cushion above the relegation zone. Their most recent success came away at Lecce, where they capitalised on their opponents’ indiscipline to claim a crucial victory, once again driven by the goals of Mateo Pellegrino.

Although Parma have lost four of their last five league visits to the Maradona, their recent away form offers some encouragement. Three wins from their last four road matches suggest they are capable of making life uncomfortable, even for elite opposition. Still, their historical struggles in Naples and inability to string together consecutive league wins remain major concerns.

In terms of team news, Napoli continue to cope with significant absentees. Kevin De Bruyne, Frank Anguissa, Billy Gilmour and Romelu Lukaku remain sidelined, while David Neres is expected to return only to the bench. Juan Jesus is suspended, likely opening the door for Alessandro Buongiorno in central defence. McTominay, revitalised after ending his goal drought, should again anchor the midfield alongside Stanislav Lobotka.

Parma’s injury list is lighter, with only a handful of players unavailable, and Pellegrino will once more lead the line after emerging as their key attacking outlet. His ability to convert limited chances could be vital if the visitors are to spring a surprise.

Napoli’s home dominance and renewed cutting edge through McTominay should be enough but Parma’s improved away form keeps the contest competitive for long spells. I see Parma can make a surprise here! 🎯🐲🎰

在经历了上周的背靠背平局后，意甲冠军那不勒斯将在周三晚上在马拉多纳球场主场迎战帕尔马，届时他们将面临重获胜利的压力。在与冠军竞争对手国际米兰分赃之前，孔蒂的球队已经在主场输给维罗纳的比赛中丢了分，孔蒂的球队知道只要拿到三分就足以让他们稳稳地保持在联赛冠军的防线上。

那不勒斯周日晚上在圣西罗参加了本赛季的一场比赛，他们两次落后并2-2战平国米。斯科特·麦克托米内再次证明了他的决定性，他打进了两个进球，其中第二个进球是在孔蒂因对点球判罚的愤怒抗议而被罚下后不久。这场比赛的结果让帕特诺佩队距离冠军只有一步之遥，但也突显了一个日益严重的问题：在如此激烈的冠军争夺战中，平局已经不够了。

本周早些时候，那不勒斯也被迫以2比2战平维罗纳，这是另一场被麦克托米内拖回争夺行列的比赛。尽管遭遇挫折，孔蒂的队员们在马拉多纳仍然令人生畏。他们在最近的19场意甲主场比赛中保持不败，赢了14场，并且在那不勒斯的联赛中一年多没有输过一场。米兰、尤文图斯和罗马都在施加压力，这场比赛是一场必胜的比赛。

帕尔马的到来没有太多的期待，但信心却在增长。卡洛斯·奎斯塔的球队在最近几周悄悄取得了进步，在最近六场联赛中拿到了10分，排名上升到第14位，并在降级区上方创造了7分的缓冲。他们最近的胜利是在对莱切的比赛中，在佩莱格里诺的进球推动下，他们利用对手的不守纪律取得了一场关键的胜利。

尽管帕尔马在联赛中最近5次造访马拉多纳球场输掉了4次，但他们最近的客场表现给了他们一些鼓励。最近四场客场比赛的三场胜利表明，他们有能力让生活变得不舒服，即使是对精英对手来说。尽管如此，他们在那不勒斯的历史挣扎和无法连续取得联赛胜利仍然是主要的担忧。

在球队方面，那不勒斯继续处理重要的缺阵问题。凯文·德布鲁因、弗兰克·安圭萨、比利·吉尔摩和罗梅卢·卢卡库仍然缺阵，而大卫·内雷斯预计只会回到替补席上。胡安·热苏斯被禁赛，很可能为中卫位置上的博翁焦尔诺打开了大门。麦克托米内在结束进球荒后恢复了活力，他应该会再次和洛博特卡一起稳住中场。

帕尔马的伤兵名单较轻，只有少数球员无法上场，佩莱格里诺将再次成为他们的主要进攻渠道。如果客队想要带来惊喜，他在有限的机会中转化进球的能力将是至关重要的。

那不勒斯在主场的优势和麦克托米内的突破应该足够了，但帕尔马在客场的状态有所改善，这将使比赛在很长一段时间内保持竞争力。看来帕尔马能给你个惊喜！🎯🐲🎰
