Sky Sport Italia has released the predicted starting lineups for the upcoming Supercoppa Italiana final, which will see Napoli face off against Bologna.
Napoli manager Antonio Conte is expected to field an unchanged starting eleven from the semifinal. The midfield will be anchored by Scott McTominay, while the attacking trio will consist of David Neres, Rasmus Højlund, and Eljif Elmas. Conte’s tactical setup remains focused on the 3-4-3 formation that secured their place in the final.
Bologna, meanwhile, will be forced to make adjustments following the loss of Federico Bernardeschi, who suffered a fractured collarbone during the semifinal victory. Lewis Ferguson is slated to return to the starting lineup in his absence. Furthermore, Thijs Dallinga is currently favored over Santiago Castro to lead the line as the starting center-forward.
Sky Sport Italia Predicted XIs:
Napoli (3-4-3): Milinković-Savić; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Juan Jesus; Politano, Lobotka, McTominay, Spinazzola; Neres, Højlund, Elmas.
Bologna (4-2-3-1): Ravaglia; Holm, Heggem, Lucumí, Lykogiannis; Pobega, Ferguson; Orsolini, Odgaard, Cambiaghi; Dallinga.
