Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Parma
After rolling over Bologna 3-0 on Matchday 2, Napoli will look to keep on climbing the standings when they take on Parma on Sunday evening. The Neapolitans continue life without Victor Osimhen, who is on the verge of leaving the club and, in his absence, Giacomo Raspadori will lead the line for the hosts. There are no fresh injury worries in Antonio Conte’s team ahead of the visit of Parma.
The Gli Emiliani, on the other hand, did remarkably well to shock AC Milan in front of home fans, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Napoli. In their last meeting at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona Napoli defeated Parma 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. All Gabriel Charpentier, Hernani, and Adrian Benedyczak are out of contention, but there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
