Napoli vs Cremonese Match Preview: Serie A Clash on April 24, 2026

The Serie A clash at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples kicks off on 24 April 2026 at 18:45 UTC. Napoli enter round 34 sitting 3rd with 66 points and a goal difference of 15, firmly in the Champions League positions. Cremonese travel south in 17th place on 28 points with a goal difference of -21, still looking over their shoulder in the relegation battle.

Napoli Availability

Napoli are hit by multiple confirmed absences. David Neres (Ankle Injury) is sidelined. G. Di Lorenzo (Knee Injury) is sidelined. R. Lukaku (Hip Injury) is sidelined. A. Vergara (Foot Injury) is sidelined. All four are ruled out, removing depth in both attack and midfield.

Cremonese Availability

Cremonese have a cluster of fitness concerns but no confirmed absentees. M. Collocolo (Injury) is doubtful. F. Moumbagna (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. M. Thorsby (Injury) is doubtful. J. Vardy (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. Late fitness tests are likely to shape their matchday squad.

Impact Summary

Napoli’s leading attacking contributors in the league, R. Højlund (10 goals, 3 assists) and S. McTominay (8 goals, 3 assists), are available, which softens the blow of losing R. Lukaku and David Neres. Cremonese’s doubts concern key attacking and box-to-box profiles; if several fail to recover, their already modest tally of 26 league goals could be further blunted in Naples.
