Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Napoli & Juventus face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coppa Italia. All the pre-match information is available here!
Even though the relationship between Northern and Southern Italy has improved, there's still cultural, political and historical differences. These play out in the football matches between the big teams from each region, such as when Juventus from the north meet Napoli from the south.
