Parma v Napoli – Line-ups, stats and preview

Parma v Napoli match preview

Parma host Napoli on Sunday with the 2023 champions chasing their second title in three years.

Antonio Conte’s side come into the weekend with a one-point lead over Inter, with just two matches remaining.

A win at the Stadio Ennio Tardini would put just a fourth league title in their grasp.

At the other end of the table Parma are not yet safe from relegation – though a win on Sunday would assure them of a place in Serie A next season.
