LAST MEETING
October 31, 2010: Brescia 0-1 Napoli
Napoli got the better of Brescia at the Mario Rigamonti earlier in the season. Despite Walter Mazzarri resting a number of key players with the encounter against Liverpool in the Europa League in mind, the former Italian champions still carved out a victory, thanks to an Ezequiel Lavezzi strike on 77 minutes. Brescia, though, were somewhat unfortunate as they were denied by the woodwork twice.

Brescia: Arcari; Zebina, Bega, Zoboli; Zambelli, Kone, Vass, Filippini, Berardi; Diamanti, Caracciolo
