Kevin Malcuit is expected to keep his spot at right-back for Napoli’s Europa League last-16 first leg against Red Bull Salzburg on Thursday.

Malcuit gifted Juventus the opening goal and numerical advantage last weekend, but Tuttomercatoweb has him down ahead of Elseid Hysaj in Napoli’s defence this evening.

Elsewhere, Coach Carlo Ancelotti should shake things up, with David Ospina, Mario Rui and Dries Mertens all coming into the side.
