Pisa vs Napoli Match Preview: Serie A Showdown

Match Context

Pisa host Napoli at Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani on 17 May 2026 in Serie A, Regular Season - 37. Pisa sit 20th on 18 points with a goal difference of -41, while Napoli are 2nd on 70 points with a goal difference of 18.

Pisa Availability

Pisa face significant absences.

  • R. Bozhinov (Red Card) is sidelined.
  • D. Denoon (Ankle Injury) is sidelined.
  • F. Loyola (Red Card) is sidelined.
  • M. Tramoni (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
  • F. Coppola (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.
  • C. Stengs (Inactive) is doubtful.

Both red cards mean Pisa lose defensive options as well as midfield creativity, further stretching a squad already struggling at the bottom of the table.

Napoli Availability

Napoli also have notable concerns in attack and creativity.

  • David Neres (Ankle Injury) is sidelined.
  • R. Lukaku (Hip Injury) is sidelined.
  • K. De Bruyne (Eye injury) is doubtful.

Impact Summary

Pisa, with only 25 league goals, can ill afford to lose multiple defenders and midfielders, which may further limit their already modest attacking output. Napoli, who have scored 54 goals, retain their key attacking contributors: R. Højlund (10 goals, 4 assists) and S. McTominay (9 goals, 3 assists) are both available, preserving most of their attacking threat despite the absences of David Neres and R. Lukaku and the doubt over K. De Bruyne.
