Napoli captain Marek Hamsik concedes Sunday's clash with Juventus will be decisive in the title race.

Juve's stumble against Crotone has opened the door for Napoli to get back into the battle for the Scudetto.

“At one point during the match we were nine points behind Juve, at the end it was only four," Hamsik noted on his official website.

“We showed our personality again and managed to turn the match around.

“We've been concentrating on Juve since this morning, it will be an important match that will significantly influence the end of the season."
