Serie A Preview: Napoli eyeing up second spot

In-form Napoli are just four points adrift of Roma heading into Saturday's trip to Palermo at Stadio Renzo Barbera, having won four successive league matches.

Napoli - inspired by Gonzalo Higuain's three goals in that period - have accounted for Lazio, Genoa, Chievo and Udinese to close the gap on Roma after 22 rounds.

"We believe in second place, and we're not giving up," Callejon told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli. "We will try to do our best in every competition, there are still many games and we hope to do well with every race.

"We have won four games in a row in the league and we're going to Palermo trying to stretch the strip. It will not be easy but we're fine and we can express ourselves to the maximum.

"We have to play as we are doing in the last few months and still improve in front of goal trying to realise all the opportunities we create."

On-field matters appear to be the least of Parma's worries, with the club facing possible bankruptcy due to outstanding debts.
