Antonio Conte will look to Giacomo Raspadori in Napoli’s first Serie A game of the season at the Stadio Maradona against Vincenzo Italiano’s Bologna.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET (18:45 GMT).
Alessandro Buongiorno will return to the starting line-up after missing last week’s 3-0 loss in Verona with a slight injury.
Conte will also change the attack as he’s expected to start Italy international Raspadori instead of Giovanni Simeone. Mathías Olivera will start on the left flank, leaving Leonardo Spinazzola initially on the bench.
New signing David Neres is available but will start on the bench.
Napoli have travelled to Napoli without the injured Lewis Ferguson, Nicolò Cambiaghi and Oussama El Azzouzi.
Italiano won’t change much after a 1-1 draw against Udinese last week. Charalampos Lykogiannis is favourite over Juan Miranda, and Riccardo Orsolini is expected to join Dan Ndoye and Santiago Castro in attack.
