NAPOLI - Match week 28 of the Italian Serie A featuring the big match between AC Milan and Napoli, which will be held at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Monday, 7 March.

This match is very important for both teams, because whoever wins this match will be able to shift Inter Milan from the temporary throne of Capitol.

The Rossoneri are arguably the most curious, because Stefano Pioli's team have started this season very well, even having held the top position for a while unbeaten in their first 15 matches.

However, since being defeated by Juventus on week-16, Tonali et al's appearance seems to have wobbled and slowly had to be evicted from the top position by 'The Step Sister' Inter Milan.

On the other hand, the Partenopei are in high spirits considering that their chance to stay on the track for the Scudetto has been running low because the distance between the points they have is quite far from the Milan duo who are in first and second place. However, Dewi Fortuna seems to have looked back at Luciano Spalletti's team, as Inter and Milan have been struggling in the last few matches, which has made the sky blue team able to cut the distance and even have time to poke into the top position.

"We'll see who is in his best performance during the game. I can only say that we are in the best condition to play," said Spalletti, as reported by Football Italia.

Meanwhile, from the opposite side, Pioli hopes that AC Il Diavoloroso, which is actually dominated by young players, can compete comfortably and effortlessly, so that it is hoped that it will show the tactical and fast playing character that has been the mainstay. The coach who was born in Parma, Italy, does not want his team to be burdened with the potential results of the match that will be obtained.

"If we come with that kind of (negative) thinking, then you're also going to be closer to a negative result than anything else," Pioli said.

However, it must be admitted, this match is arguably one of the 'life and death' matches for the Red-Black Team. If they are able to win, then their chance to still be able to compete with Inter Milan for the League Champion will remain open.

On the other hand, if they fall to Napoli, it is believed that it will be a major blow for Milan's youth team, which has the potential to bring down the team's mentality in the following matches. So, there is no choice for the Rossoneri but to win, or hopes of becoming a Serie A Champion this season will fail like in previous years.
