Juventus coach Antonio Conte has taken a swipe at Napoli boss Rafael Benitez ahead of their clash tonight, insisting that anything other than winning Serie A would constitute failure for the Spaniard.

Both sides are level on 28 points in Serie A and trail league leaders Roma.

He told reporters at a pre-match press conference: "I hope that Benitez realises this year that if he doesn't win the Scudetto, he'll have achieved nothing.

"We are already at 100% and moving rapidly, so this is why I worry at Benitez's words.

"Nobody is starting out looking for a draw. As always, I say that I hope the winner is the one who expressed the best football."

Juve are unbeaten at home in all competitions this season ahead of Napoli's visit, while the Azzurri have lost just once in 11 Serie A matches under Benitez.
