The Bianconeri even have the chance to secure the championship on Sunday if they prevail over city rivals Torino and Pescara do the unthinkable and defeat visiting Napoli.Arguably the bigger question on the Napoli fans' minds, however, is how well they would fare in next season's Champions League without star striker Edinson Cavani.Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini, for one, does not expect Juventus to break open the bubbly this weekend.Uruguayan international Cavani tops the Serie A scoring charts with 23 goals from 30 appearances, five ahead of in-form Udinese veteran Antonio Di Natale.Now with a seven-point deficit to Napoli following their 1-0 defeat at Juventus last week, AC Milan face a potential banana skin at home to Catania as they look to secure at least third place, which offers a Champions League place through preliminary qualification.I don't believe Napoli will slip up, they're in the hunt for second place," said Chiellini. "Honestly, I don't think (Walter) Mazzarri's team will have any problems.Cavani's performances, however, have alerted a number of top clubs with media reports suggesting Real Madrid are set to break the bank to release Cavani from a contract which has a release clause in excess of 60 million euros.Having suffered only four defeats away from home, from five in total this season -- while the biggest of Pescara's six wins came away to Fiorentina -- Napoli are expected to account for Pescara at the Stadio Adriatico.
