RS vs NAP Dream11 Prediction Team News, Injury Report, Starting Lineups

A) Real Sociedad Team News 

Injury Report, Unavailability: Real Sociedad has a long list of injured and doubtful players. Asier Illaramendi, Alex Sola and Luca Sangalli are all confirmed absentees with injuries.

Doubtful starters: They also have a long list of uncertain players with Adnan Januzaj, Ander Barrenetxea, Igor Zubeldia, Joseba Zaldua and Martin Merquelanz all doubtful and it remains to be seen if they get the nod in RS vs NAP Dream11 Prediction.

Expected changes: Imanol Alguacil is likely to stick to the 4-3-3 formation and will go for his preferred front three of Mikel Oyarzabal, Aleksander Isak and Cristian Portu. Manchester City legend, David Silva, should orchestrate the midfield alongside Mikel Merino and Martin Zubimendi. In defence, the trusted backline of Andoni Gorosabel, Aritz Elustondo, Robin Le Normand and Nacho Monreal should keep their place.

RS Playing 11 (probable):
Alex Remiro (GK)
Andoni Gorosabel
Aritz Elustondo
Robin Le Normand
Nacho Monreal
Martin Zubimendi
Mikel Merino
David Silva
Cristian Portu
Aleksander Isak
Mikel Oyarzabal

B) Napoli

Injury Report, Unavailability: Napoli has no injured players to worry about.

Doubtful: Gennaro Gattuso does not have any doubtful or injured players and his only headache will be squad rotation.

Expected changes: Eljif Elmas and Piotr Zielinski are back with the team after following Covid-19 protocol, but it is unlikely that they will be given starts. Matteo Politano and Andrea Petagna started on the bench Benevento, but they changed the came after coming on and should be given starts. If Petagna starts, Lorenzo Insigne may be given a rest. One of Tiemoue Bakayoko or Fabian might be given a rest with Stanislas Lobotka deputizing in midfield. Elseid Hysaj is also likely to replace Mario Rui at left-back with rest of the backline remaining the same.

NAP Playing 11 (probable):
Alex Meret (GK)
Giovanni Di Lorenzo
Konstantinos Manolas
Kalidou Koulibaly
Elseid Hysaj
Matteo Politano
