Match between SSC Napoli and CA Osasuna - Preview

More than a routine summer run-out, this friendly marks the first major test of the new Allegri era at Napoli, as the Partenopei look to integrate several World Cup returnees and begin building their identity for the club's centenary campaign.

Napoli's appointment of Massimiliano Allegri - who succeeded Antonio Conte following the 2025/26 season - signals a new chapter at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The club finished second in Serie A in 2025/26 and won the Supercoppa Italiana in December 2025, yet now carries different expectations under a different philosophy. Adding extra intrigue is the timing: Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne were confirmed to rejoin the squad on 5 August after their World Cup campaigns with Belgium, meaning this match could serve as their immediate debut in pre-season under Allegri alongside Scott McTominay.

CA Osasuna head to Naples as one of the more intriguing visitors of the summer. Under their new coach Luis Miguel Ramis, the rojillos from Pamplona have been relentlessly impressive - beating Racing Santander 2-0, then overcoming Ipswich Town 1-2 and Norwich City 1-2 during their English training camp, winning all 3 friendlies to date. The Navarro side are targeting a strong LaLiga 2026/27 campaign beginning on the weekend of 16 August against Celta Vigo, and they view this meeting as their most demanding pre-season examination yet.

SSC Napoli - Recent Form

Napoli's pre-season has been a tale of two halves: a surprising 1-3 loss to Arezzo hinted at early-summer rustiness, before a controlled 2-0 win over Carrarese confirmed the squad is finding its footing under Allegri.

Across all competitions over their last 5 matches, the Partenopei recorded 3 wins and 2 losses. Their Serie A campaign ended with moments of real quality - a 1-0 home win over Udinese and a commanding 3-0 away victory in Pisa underline the talent available - though a 2-3 home defeat to Bologna on the final matchday showed vulnerability when pressed. The defeat to Arezzo at Dimaro came with a reduced squad in an early preparation window; the subsequent 2-0 win over Carrarese gave Allegri a more encouraging platform to build from.

The 2026/27 season will be Napoli's 100th in existence - a centenary campaign with Champions League football already guaranteed. Allegri's arrival after the Conte era raises questions about tactical continuity, and this friendly gives supporters their first real glimpse of how the new manager intends to set up his team.

CA Osasuna - Recent Form

Osasuna arrive as one of the most in-form pre-season sides in La Liga - 3 wins from 3 friendlies under a new coach who has hit the ground running from his very first training session.

Luis Miguel Ramis began his tenure with a 2-0 home win over Racing Santander, then guided two come-from-behind victories in England - 1-2 at Ipswich Town and 1-2 at Norwich City. The pattern of conceding first and then recovering to win both English games signals a resilient side with real character. Their last two La Liga matches in 2025/26 went against them - a 0-1 defeat at Getafe and a 1-2 home loss to Espanyol - but those results belong to a previous chapter under different management.

Striker Ante Budimir remains the focal point of the attack, having scored 18 goals across all competitions in 2025/26 (16 in La Liga alone). Osasuna finished 9th in La Liga 2025/26 with 42 points; Ramis's mandate is to improve on that benchmark - and judging by the pre-season results, the foundations are being laid rapidly ahead of the La Liga opener against Celta Vigo.
