High-flying Napoli will temporarily switch their attentions away from Serie A matters on Thursday evening when they lock-horns with Serie B outfit Palermo in the second round of the Coppa Italia.

Napoli v Palermo will be played at the Stadio Maradona in Napoli, Italy, and kick-off is at 20:00 (BST) on Thursday 26th September 2024.
Napoli have lost just one of their last ten meetings with Palermo, and will be confident of extending their good run of form in this fixture on Thursday.
Antonio Conte's men, who have never been beaten by Palermo on home soil, have bounced back from a disappointing start to the season that saw them beaten 3-0 by Verona, by winning three of their next four league outings, taking ten points in the process.
They did however, need spot kicks to see off Modena in their opening Coppa Italia showdown.
Palermo's cup campaign got off to an impressive start with a 1-0 win at Parma, which was secured thanks to a 45th minute Robert Insigne goal at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
League-wise, they have won just two of their opening six Serie B meetings this term, drawing two and losing two.
