Napoli need one result, one clean performance to cement their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League. Standing in their way is a relegated, demotivated, and discipline-ravaged Pisa side who haven’t beaten Napoli since January 1986. On paper it sounds straightforward — but Antonio Conte knows better than anyone that football doesn’t care about paper.

Team News & Injuries

Pisa are in absolute disarray. Rosen Bozhinov and Felipe Loyola are suspended after red cards in their 3–0 loss at Cremonese. Add Matteo Tramoni, Calvin Stengs, Francesco Coppola, and Daniel Denoon to the injury list and manager Oscar Hiljemark is left scraping the barrel. Top scorer Stefano Moreo (6 goals) hasn’t scored from open play since January — a damning stat heading into this fixture.

Napoli aren’t without problems either. Matteo Politano is suspended for this one after picking up a booking last week. David Neres and Romelu Lukaku are doubts with ankle and hip injuries respectively, while Kevin De Bruyne has an eye issue that is being monitored. The good news? Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay lead the scoring charts, and loanee Alisson Santos has found the net in two of his last three Serie A outings — albeit all at home.
