Parma's Francesco Guidolin Expecting A Good Performance Against Napoli

Parma coach Francsco Guidolin is not feeling the pressure ahead of the clash against Napoli today, as his team has fared better than expected so far and are enjoying more than a comfortable position in the standings.

However, Guidolin does not want his team to lose concentration against the Azzurri as he expects a quality performance by his opponents.

"The league position does not give us pressure," commented the former Palermo coach to sportsbook24.net. "It's the big teams like Fiorentina and Napoli who put pressure on us and put us in difficulty.

"I expect a Napoli side full of quality, moves, counter attacks and balance. Parma's missing players? From those who are playing I expect a good performance.

"What does [Valeri] Bojinov have? He did not train much this week, due to a small muscular problem and because he is coming from some fever during the match in Florence."

With a win, Parma could jump into fourth place and overtake Sampdoria in the standings as the Gialloblu currently have 24 points, one point behind the Blucerchiati.
