Napoli look to Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay to visit Pisa, but Como are without Nico Paz and Alex Valle against Parma.

They both kick off at 11.00 UK time (12.00 CEST).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s 10 Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The scheduling of Week 37 was chaotic and dragged on for four days , because the race for Champions League qualification is so tight that there are five teams in a five-point radius.

In order to ensure nobody has an unfair advantage knowing the other results, they all had to be played simultaneously.

(Photo by Simone Arveda/Getty Images) Napoli had seemed secure until the surprising 3-2 home defeat to Bologna, so now the pressure is on as they visit already-relegated Pisa.

De Bruyne was out for that match after a clash of heads in training left him needing stitches. The Belgian starts on the bench in Pisa today with Hojlund, Alisson Santos and Eljif Elmas starting up front.

Matteo Politano is suspended, with Romelu Lukaku and David Neres out.

Pisa’s Felipe Loyola and Rosen Bozhinov are suspended, plus Daniel Denoon, Matteo Tremoni and Francesco Coppola are injured.

Napoli: Meret; Beukema, Rrahmani, Buongiorno; Di Lorenzo, Mctominay, Lobotka, Spinazzola; Elmas, Hojlund, Alisson Santos.

Como vs. Parma

Como are not out of the race for Champions League football yet, even if they are lagging behind the rest, but the bad news is that Nico Paz and Alex Valle join Jayden Addai on the treatment table.

Martin Baturina, Assane Diao and Jesus Rodriguez therefore fan out in support of Tasos Douvikas.

Parma are safe from the drop and welcome back Gabriel Strefezza against his old club, but Sascha Britschgi is suspended, with Jacob Ondrejka, Adrian Bernabé, Gaetano Oristanio and Matija Frigan injured.

Parma: Suzuki; Circati, Troilo, Valenti; Del Prato; Ordonez, Nicolussi, Keita, Carboni; Strefezza, Pellegrino.

What happened

Serie A has confirmed the official line-ups for Pisa vs Napoli and Como vs Parma ahead of simultaneous Week 37 kick-offs. Napoli respond to recent pressure after a loss to Bologna by starting Hojlund, McTominay, Eljif Elmas and Alisson Santos, while De Bruyne is only fit enough for the bench and Matteo Politano is suspended. Como remain in the European race but are without Nico Paz, Alex Valle and Jayden Addai, forcing changes behind Tasos Douvikas. Parma, already safe, welcome Gabriel Strefezza back but still have several absences of their own.

Chance analysis

This matters because confirmed line-ups materially change team strength assumptions shortly before kick-off. Napoli still field a competitive XI, but De Bruyne only being on the bench and multiple attacking absences slightly reduce ceiling and squad depth. Como losing Nico Paz and Alex Valle is a more direct negative to creativity and balance, which can affect both result and goal expectations against Parma.

Impact

The confirmed absences weaken Como more clearly than Napoli, while Napoli remain competitive but not at full attacking strength.

AI Insight

Treat this as late, high-value lineup news: downgrade Como's attacking outlook and slightly trim Napoli's attacking upside versus full-strength priors.
