This could be an historic occasion at the Stadio San Paolo, as Quagliarella has already matched Gabriel Batistuta’s tally of 11 in a row, set for Fiorentina in 1994.

The Sampdoria veteran has the opportunity to become the first Serie A player ever to score in 12 rounds on the bounce.

To make matters even more fascinating, he can do this against his hometown club Napoli with family in the stands and achieve the feat two days after his 36th birthday.

It is always an emotional occasion returning to the San Paolo, as only years after the departure in 2010 did he reveal he was forced to flee Napoli due to a stalker nightmare.

The fans took great pains to show they understood and apologised for insulting him.
