Napoli midfielder Jorginho firmly believes his side will challenge for the Scudetto this campaign.

The Brazilian, who featured in his team’s 2-1 triumph at Genoa in their Serie A opener, is set to start again for Napoli in today’s home game against Chievo.

Napoli finished third in Serie A last term but Jorginho is convinced his team can do better this season.

“We have the same team that won the Coppa Italia last season, that set a new club record of goals and points in a given season,” Jorginho said to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“We will be in the race for the league title this season and we will try to win the Scudetto.”
