The Diego Armando Maradona Stadium is the venue for a likely entertaining Serie A encounter on Saturday evening as Napoli takes on in-form Como.
Napoli return to home comforts after a narrow win at Lecce on Monday evening while Como make the trip to Naples after an impressive midweek win against Verona.
Both teams claimed home victories in last season´s meetings, and another competitive and potentially high-scoring encounter seems likely in Naples.

Napoli team overview
Napoli come into Saturday's Serie A contest after a hard-fought 1:0 win against Lecce on Monday evening. Vanja Milinković-Savić´s second-half penalty proved crucial as Frank Anguissa´s late goal secured the points for Antonio Conte´s side.
Before Monday´s win - their seventh Serie A victory of the campaign - Napoli scored a vital 3:1 win against Inter in Naples last weekend, ensuring a fine seven days for Gli Azzurri.
Particularly strong at home, Napoli claimed victories in eight of their last nine Serie A games at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, including all four fixtures this season. Conte´s men now sit top of the division, ahead of Roma on goal difference.
An entertaining encounter should be expected in Naples. Napoli have seen over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight matches and in both of their two previous matches against Como, including last season´s 3:1 win at this venue.
Head coach Conte has some injury issues to deal with this week. Kevin de Bruyne faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after sustaining a serious thigh injury while scoring a first-half penalty against Inter. Fellow Belgians Romelu Lukaku and Alex Meret remain sidelined alongside Slovak international Stanislav Lobotka.

Como team overview
Como arrives in Naples in high spirits after a fine 3:1 win against Verona on Wednesday extended their unbeaten run to eight matches. Anastasios Douvikas´s early goal set the tone as Cesc Fabregas´s side secured a fourth Serie A win of the season.
A tough side to beat, I Lariani have lost just one of 11 games played across all competitions this season.
Now sitting fifth in Serie A, Como have picked up eye-catching wins against Juventus (2:0, and Fiorentina (2:1) while they also claimed a point against Atalanta (1:1).
Head coach Fabregas is unlikely to make changes from the side that eased past Verona. Mërgim Vojvoda could earn a recall after a goal-scoring substitute appearance on Wednesday.
Alberto Dossena and Sergi Roberto remain long-term absentees for the in-form away side.

Prediction
Napoli have struggled to keep clean sheets this season, and they seem likely to concede against an in-form Como side.
BTTS is my preferred pick for a likely fascinating duel at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Napoli have seen BTTS in their last 2 matches against Como
- Napoli have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 8 matches
- Como have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 5 matches
