Carlo Ancelotti and his men remain the last remaining hurdle that the Bianconeri need to overcome if they are to secure their 8th consecutive Serie A title. The match at Naples today will see Napoli host Juventus at the San Paolo Stadium, with a win for the Old Lady resulting in the Bianconeri opening up a 16-point lead at the top with just 12 matches remaining.
Napoli have had a fantastic season so far with 56 points from 25 matches, but still find themselves a whopping 13 points behind the league leaders, Juventus.
