League leaders Napoli welcome local rivals - 14th-placed Salernitana - to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Serie A on Saturday (April 29).
The hosts are within touching distance of the league title, as a 1-0 win over Juventus put them 17 points clear of second-placed Lazio. Giacomo Raspadori scored the winner in the third minute of injury time.
Salernitana, meanwhile, are unbeaten in eight outings. They returned to winning ways after seven games on Saturday, as Lorenzo Pirola, Boulaye Dia and Lassana Coulibaly strikes helped them beat Sassuolo 3-0 at home.
Napoli will seal the title with six games to go if they beat Salernitana, and second-placed Lazio drop points against Inter Milan.
