The "Diego Armando Maradona" stadium is set to host the match between Napoli and their guests Spezia as part of the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia for the current season 2020-2021, marking the last matches in this round of the competition.
Napoli, led by coach Gennaro Gattuso, enters tonight's match in low spirits following recent setbacks, including a loss in the Italian Super Cup to Juventus with a score of 2-0, followed by an unexpected defeat to Hellas Verona in the Italian league last Sunday. This has negatively impacted the team's desire to compete for the title this season.
Napoli's position in the Serie A standings has dropped to seventh place with 34 points after the recent loss to Hellas Verona, and they still have a postponed match against Juventus. Napoli is looking to secure a victory to advance in the Coppa Italia and defend the title they won last season against Juventus in a penalty shootout.
On the other hand, Spezia is participating in Serie A for the first time this season and hopes to continue their surprises after eliminating Roma in the Round of 16, winning 4-2 at the "Olympico" stadium. Spezia currently stands in fourteenth place in the Serie A table with 18 points.
The match is scheduled for tonight at 9:15 PM Mecca time.
