Napoli Preview
The five-time defending champions, Napoli, begin their Coppa Italia campaign in the Round of 16 in high spirits after a 5-1 win over Juventus last weekend.
With that win, the Neapolitan team managed to tie together two wins in a row, which served to erase the performance shown against Inter in their first match of 2023. That win has also moved the team nine points away from their closest pursuers in the league, and as their situation in Serie A is quite comfortable, they will surely try to lift this trophy to achieve the domestic double.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Alex Meret; Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Min-jae Kim, Mario Rui; Frank Zambo Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, Tanguy Ndombele; Matteo Politano, Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Cremonese Preview
Unlike Napoli, Cremonese had to play two more rounds to reach this stage, leaving Ternana and Modena on the road. The team suffered against both: it defeated Ternana 3-2, and it had to go to extra time against Modena to decide the winner.
The preparation ahead of this match has not been the best, as Cremonese lost in all three games it has played in this 2023. The last of those games, at least, saw the team score their first goals of the year, the game ended in a 2-3 loss to Monza.Cremonese will be hoping to have a similar offensive performance in this Napoli vs Cremonese match to try to surpass its rival.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Marco Carnesecchi; Giacomo Quagliata, Matteo Bianchetti, Alex Ferrari; Paolo Ghiglione; Soualiho Meité, Charles Pickel, Emanuele Valeri; David Okereke, Cyriel Dessers, Frank Tsadjout.
JefeBet Prediction
There is no doubt that Napoli is the favorite and that it will surely end up winning the match, but the question is whether it will able to do so and remain undefeated. Luciano Spalleti’s men conceded one goal against Juventus and, overall, they have converted goals in three of their last four official matches.
Similarly, in their first match against Cremonese this season, they also saw their goal breached on one occasion, in a match played without as much intensity as the league matches. Now, the team will surely have some rotations made, but they might still give Cremonese a chance or two to leave the match with their heads held high knowing that they scored a goal against the Serie A leaders.
Prediction: Both teams score
