Napoli need just one goal against Roma to take their Serie A total to 200 since Maurizio Sarri took over in 2015.
After a difficult start in his first season on the Partenopei bench, Sarri’s side hit 80 goals in 2015-16 – including 36 from Gonzalo Higuain – to finish second, nine points behind Juventus.
Pipita departed for Juve ahead of last season, but Napoli actually improved their attacking record, scoring an incredible 94 league goals.
Despite setting a club record points total, however, they could only finish third, necessitating a Champions League play-off.
So far this season ‘Sarrismo’ has been in full swing, with the Partenopei scoring 25 Serie A goals already – for context, the bottom six sides have 24 between them.
As a result, Napoli can score the 200th goal of the Sarri era tonight, in what will be just his 84th game on the bench.
