Having drawn their last two Serie A games without scoring, Napoli will be looking to get back on track when they visit the Stadio Ennio Tardini to take on Parma.

The last time the Partenopei recorded three draws in a row was back in December 2014. Carlo Ancelotti’s side can take hope from the fact that Parma have lost their last three Serie A home games; this after only losing two of their first nine at the Tardini (W3 D4).

Napoli have kept four clean sheets in a row in Serie A, last recording more in the competition back in November 2015 (five).

If Parma are to cause problems it’s likely to be either Roberto Inglese or Gervinho who are responsible. The Pair have scored 64 percent of Parma’s goals this season (16/25), the highest percentage for a duo in Serie A this campaign.

Dries Mertens has scored two goals in his last three Serie A games against Parma, and finds himself just one goal shy of Attila Sallustro (77), as Napoli’s fifth highest goalscorer in Serie A and just two behind the man in fourth (Edinson Cavani – 78).

Parma: To come…

Napoli: Meret; Malcuit, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Hysaj; Callejon, Allan, Fabian, Zielinski; Mertens, Milik.
