Italy The Diego Maradona Stadium team will win the Italian championship for the first time in 33 years, if they beat Salernitana, while second place Lazio drops points to Inter in round 32 this weekend.
Having started two and a half hours later than the second-placed team, Napoli could end the Serie A title race six rounds early if Inter hold or beat Lazio at San Siro.

Luciano Spalletti's side suffered a shock defeat to Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals. But Napoli have not lost a Serie A match since losing 4-0 to Milan on April 3. In the previous round, they beat Juventus 1-0 thanks to Giacomo Raspadori's only goal.
Napoli are unbeaten in five Serie A meetings with Salernitana. But their opponents are arguably the draw specialists. No team has shared points more than Salernitana this season, with 12 in 31 games. Of those 12 games, six were in a row between March 5 and April 16, before Salernitana beat Sassuolo 3-0 last weekend. Salernitana have also drawn with Milan and Inter. In total, the team is unbeaten in its last eight games and has not lost since February 19.
In case they cannot widen the gap with the second-placed team this week, Spalletti's team can be crowned champions next week when they face Udinese, regardless of the result of the Lazio - Sassuolo match.
Napoli have won Serie A twice, but both times during the era of legendary Diego Maradona, most recently in the 1989-90 season.
The race for the top four in Serie A promises to be more dramatic than the title race. After successfully appealing against a 15-point deduction, Juventus moved up to third, three points ahead of Milan. This weekend, Max Allegri's men face Bologna while Milan face Roma, who are level on points and only below them on goal difference. Another top four contender, Atalanta, will visit Torino.
