Naples v Lazio: Probable line-ups for Sunday’s Serie A clash

Naples host Lazio in the 11th round of Serie A on Sunday, 8 November 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 11:30 GMT. Both sides are expected to adopt contrasting formations for the fixture.

Naples

Naples are likely to set up in a 3-5-2 formation as they look to strengthen a defence that has appeared vulnerable in recent weeks.

The three-man defence, supported by two wing-backs, should give the Partenopei greater protection through the centre while also allowing more space for their forwards. The system is also intended to disrupt Lazio’s attacking patterns and limit their options in possession.

The probable Naples XI is:

Goalkeeper: Alex Meret

Defenders: Sam Beukema, A. Rrahmani, Rafa Marin

Midfielders: M. Politano, Frank Anguissa, Billy Gilmour, S. McTominay, Antonio Vergara

Forwards: R. Hojlund, K. De Bruyne

Lazio

Lazio are expected to line up in a 4-3-3, with a back four providing defensive stability and a three-man midfield tasked with controlling the tempo.

Their attacking shape will feature three forwards, giving Lazio several options in the final third and the ability to threaten Naples from different areas of the pitch.

The probable Lazio XI is:

Goalkeeper: C. Mandas

Defenders: Romano Floriani, Josip Sutalo, O. Provstgaard, Nuno Tavares

Midfielders: Davide Frattesi, R. Belahyane, K. Taylor

Forwards: Gustav Isaksen, T. Noslin, M. Zaccagni

Naples and Lazio will meet shortly in their Serie A match for the 11th round of the season.

The match odds listed are 2.00 for a Naples win, 3.40 for a draw and 2.80 for a Lazio victory.
