Quotes
"There is an advantage and a disadvantage [of not playing in Europe] - the advantage is that you can train the team all week," Napoli manager Antonio Conte told DAZN after his side's win over Monza.
"The disadvantage is that the squad is not as competitive as those that do play in Europe. Having said that, we continue to work, we do it to make people's dreams come true
"But the reality is that we are too far away to make flights of fancy. We need to sweat every game, like we did today, and grow."
Head-to-Head
Como secured a 2-0 win over Napoli in their last league meeting, a Serie B clash played in February 2004 at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
Therefore, the Blues are undefeated in their last three league matches against Little Donkeys having recorded three successive wins.
