Juventus and Napoli battle for glory in Qatar
Juventus will be aiming for a record seventh Italian Super Cup title when they face Napoli tonight in Qatar's Al Sadd stadium.
The highly-anticipated match will kickoff at 20:30. This will be the third time the two sides have met in the finals for the annual title, after the 1990 and 2012 editions.
Napoli demolished Juve 5-1 in their only Super Cup victory in 1990 when Diego Maradona was the team's inspiration, before Juve won a controversial game 4-2 in 2012 in China.
This time around, Italian league leaders Juventus will be the favorites to win as they boast the likes of Carlos Tevez, Paul Pogba, Arturo Vidal and Gianluiggi Buffon in the ranks.
