Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri said Friday his team will be bidding to impose their free-flowing attacking game in Saturday's showdown with Juventus in Turin.
"We must have the madness to impose our brand of football," Sarri told a press conference ahead of the game between Serie A's top two teams.
"We're going to Turin to play our game, also because we become vulnerable if we don't.
"We're going to take the field with our game face on, as they say in Florence".
Napoli are two points head of Juventus.
Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri acknowledged that the game was "worth triple" but said it would not be "decisive for the scudetto." "It will be the 13 games afterwards that will say who will win, and in the end the team that makes the fewer mistakes will be top".
Allegri said that two defensive errors had determined Juve's loss to Napoli in their away game earlier in the season but stressed that the defence had tightened up a lot since then and would not be making the same kind of mistakes.
He also said Juve had had the chances to turn that September 27 2-1 defeat at the San Paolo into at least a draw.
Juve are going for their fifteenth straight Serie A win at the Juventus Stadium Saturday night.
Napoli are already on their best run since the glory days of Diego Maradona, who brought two scudetti to the southern Italian city, and will be bidding to make it nine in a row.
A lot of focus will be on the two Argentine strikers involved.
Napoli's Gonzalo Higuain has 24 goals from the season's 24 games and has drawn comparisons with Maradona.
Juve's Paulo Dybala has been a stand-out for the Bianconeri and has found the net 13 times.
