Napoli Faces Frosinone Test at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona

Napoli hosts Frosinone at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as Massimiliano Allegri's team seeks a victory run and Massimiliano Alvini's visitors aim to continue their strong Serie A start after earning 10 points from five matches.

According to beIN Sports and LiveScore, Napoli sit ninth after five league rounds, with two wins, one draw and two defeats. Frosinone enter the match three points above Napoli after promotion from Serie B.

According to sports.yahoo.com, Alvini said Frosinone must deliver a strong performance against Napoli, who changed to a 3-4-3 formation for the match.

"I was in the Eccellenza league and he was in Serie D, so a rather different type of football to this evening," said Massimiliano Alvini, Frosinone head coach.

Alvini also highlighted the challenge of facing Napoli while Frosinone look to maintain their form. The Canarini recorded a 2-0 win over Como before the international break, according to sports.yahoo.com.

"We need to be up to the standard of this match and put all our characteristics and strengths into it. We want to confirm our current level with an intelligent performance. It's going to be a tough test, we know that, and we want to keep going," said Massimiliano Alvini, Frosinone head coach.

Frosinone's coach warned that Napoli's attacking players could create problems when possession changes hands. According to sports.yahoo.com, he focused on preventing transitions involving Noa Lang and David Neres.

"We've got to be very careful with our preventative marking, as it's possible we can take the initiative, but get caught out by Noa Lang and David Neres using their pace in transition. It is therefore crucial that we keep it tight to avoid dangerous counter-attacks," said Massimiliano Alvini, Frosinone head coach.

Antonio Raimondo was available after recovering from a knock that forced him to leave Italy Under-21 duty, while Florian Grillitsch and Daniel Birligea were unavailable, according to sports.yahoo.com.

"Bobcek also only returned yesterday from international duty, so we made this decision, then we'll see how it goes," said Massimiliano Alvini, Frosinone head coach.

Allegri entered the match under pressure after Napoli's difficult opening to the 2026/27 season. According to beIN Sports, Napoli had drawn 1-1 with Fiorentina before the international break and needed consistency ahead of a congested schedule.

"There should be no anxiety, but we have to be focused on the goal, which is to take the three points [against Frosinone]," said Massimiliano Allegri, Napoli head coach.

According to beIN Sports, Allegri said Napoli faced nine matches in less than a month before the November international break. Scott McTominay returned to training and was expected to be used from the bench.

"The news is that McTominay will be called up, and we will have him available for at least 20 to 30 minutes," said Massimiliano Allegri, Napoli head coach.
