Champions League: predicted lineups for Napoli-Benfica
Dries Mertens and Arkadiusz Milik are expected to start up front alongside Jose Maria Callejon. Lorenzo Insigne and Manolo Gabbiadini, in turn, will be benched.
The only doubt for the Italian tactician is who to play between Allan and Zielinksi, though the latter is more likely to start form the bench having been on Napoli’s starting XI in the week-end game against Chievo Verona.
