Second vs First: Napoli vs Juventus
In a round where the top four teams are playing each other Juve can extend its lead at the top to nine points with a win over Napoli.
This is also Napoli's chance to narrow the gap at the top to just three points with a win and ten more matches to go.
The hosts have a very good record at home having lost just once at home and if that trend continues then they have a good chance of getting something out of this match.
Earlier this season Napoli lost 2-nil to Juventus and that was the only time for Napoli to lose by more than one goal. The other three losses were all by a single goal margin.

Ferguson leaves Glory
Ferguson was sacked following the 2-nil loss to Melbourne Heart.
The team that reached the 2011/12 Grand Final and lost in the dying minutes of that match in extra time now find themselves propping the ladder.
Apart from the loss against Heart, Fergie's team had never lost by more than a one goal margin and hence its goal difference is better than that of Sydney FC and Newcastle Jets who are above it on the table.
