for roma:
- As Dodô and Federico Balzaretti are injured, Vasilis Torosidis is expected to start at left-back.

for napoli:
- After receiving criticism for not fielding his best available XI in Serie A and losing 3-0 to Atalanta, Rafa Benitez is unlikely to rotate here.
- Gonzalo Higuain and Marek Hamsik will be start this time, while Duvan Zapata should start on the bench.
- Jorginho has been excluded from the UEFA list, which indicates that he's considered a reserve at present.
