Napoli captain Marek Hamsik is on the verge of equaling Diego Maradona's goalscoring record at the club. There were no games in the top European leagues in the past weekend but club football returns on Friday and Hamsik will have the chance to equal and/or break the record against AS Roma on Saturday.
Napoli have won all of their seven games in the Serie A this season and have scored 25 goals in the process. A trip to Rome to play AS Roma on Saturday will represent the biggest challenge yet for the Naples outfit in the 2017/18 season.

The Slovakian attacking midfielder lags the legendary Maradona by just one goal.
Napoli top the Serie A log with 21pts, two points more than Juventus and Inter who are tied on 19pts, but the Partenopei club has played mostly bottom half clubs in the league such as Benevento, Verona, Atalanta, Bologna, SPAL 2013 and Cagliari. AS Roma who play host have played a game less than Napoli but have managed five wins out of six.
