Napoli will at last play a meaningful match this Sunday. With any relegation doubts long since removed since the late March victory against Palermo, Napoli has had little motivation the last few months. The match presents some unique opportunities for the Azzurri.

Siena’s campaign really has been a tale of two halves. In the andata Siena managed only three victories (Palermo, Empoli & Genoa), were outscored 22 to 30 and finished up rooted at 17th.

In one corner: Six consecutive defeats. Fewest home points in Serie A. Outscored 14-2 in

That is the number of matches in Serie A. On paper and during the pre-season, it sure sounds like an eternity. Plenty of time to turn things around and work through the slumps, right? I mean if you hit a rough patch, there’s always a game next week to reverse your fortunes and right the [...]
