Napoli are counting on the atmosphere of the Maradona to lift them in tonight’s early Scudetto showdown with Inter, but the stadium will not be at full capacity.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, around 50,000 fans are expected.
However, the match has not reached a sell-out due to the cost of the remaining seats.
Premium areas remain unsold, with prices listed at €215 for the Posillipo Premium, €185 for Posillipo, and €140 for the Tribuna Nisida.
The paper notes that these figures have slowed sales in the final build-up to the match.
Inter will still have travelling support, but not in full force.
Supporters’ clubs are expected in good numbers.
With the exception, however, of those based in Lombardy.
This came as the away trip was banned by order of Prefect Michele Di Bari.
Even without a complete sell-out, Napoli will bank on noise, pressure and environment to spark a reaction on the pitch.
Meanwhile, Inter aim to silence the stadium and extend their momentum.
