In Serie A only the top two teams get a place in the Champions League. Juventus almost 100% secured the first place and exactly the rivals in this match - Milan and Napoli will determine who will be the second Italian team qualified directly for the group stage of the most prestigious football tournament. After inviting Mario Balotelli, Milan team significantly improved their performance, and there are even a real chance for them for second place in Serie A. Unfortunately, Balotelli got suspended for 3 matches and will miss important games for his team against Napoli and Juventus.
Napoli are currently four points ahead of Milan and undoubtedly the hosts will give the most in this match to shorten the distance to only 1 point. The "Rossoneri" play quite successfully to his own audience having eight consecutive home wins in the league. Napoli in turn shows a fall in performance as a guest in a while, having two wins from their last seven visits, and now the team faces an opponent who has scored at least two goals in his last eight home games. Many of these goals, however, were made by Mario Balotelli and his absence will definitely be felt.
In the absence of Balotelli probably Pazzini, who has 13 goals so far, will lead the attack for the hosts. For Napoli Cavani is the man, who would be expected to score goals. This player makes a great season, and so far has scored 22 hits. Eventual victory for Napoli would mean that the team can put Juventus under pressure and make a last rush for the title of Serie A. Juventus has a very difficult schedule to the end of the season and after dropping out of the Champions League, there may be a slight drop in form of the "Old Lady".
