In light of Edinson Cavani's suspension, Napoli Coach Walter Mazzarri plans to hand a starting berth to Giuseppe Mascara.

Ezequiel Lavezzi will move into the centre-forward role usually occupied by Cavani in Napoli's 3-4-2-1 formation against Bologna.

By the same token, Mascara will take Lavezzi's traditional position alongside Marek Hamsik just behind the centre-forward.

Mazzarri had toyed with the idea of playing veteran striker Cristiano Lucarelli, but felt persuaded by Mascara's pace.
