Pisa vs Napoli Match Preview: Serie A Clash at Arena Garibaldi

Match context

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

Pisa availability

Pisa face significant selection issues.

  • 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.

These absences hit primarily the defensive and midfield units, reducing depth in wide and central areas for a side that has scored just 25 goals in 36 matches.

Napoli availability

Napoli are also without key names in attack and midfield.

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

Impact summary

Napoli’s leading attacking contributors R. Højlund (10 goals, 4 assists) and S. McTominay (9 goals, 3 assists) are both available, preserving most of a frontline that has produced 54 league goals. The loss of David Neres and R. Lukaku trims depth but not the core output. Pisa, already the lowest scorers in the league, lose multiple rotation options and creativity in midfield, further limiting their attacking threat against a high-flying Napoli side.
