Napoli v Juventus Predictions

The only two defeats Napoli have suffered in the last fifteen matches both came against Manchester City in the Champions League. Domestically, they’ve been in sensational form and are unbeaten in Serie A to this point. Only twice have they dropped points, highlighting the task ahead of Juventus.

The Old Lady had a bit of a wobble a few weeks back, when plucky Sampdoria claimed an unlikely 3-2 victory. Since then, Juventus had Barcelona at arm’s length in a 0-0 draw in the Champions League and come into this game on the back of an easy 3-0 win at home to Crotone.

Juventus have scored at least two goals in their last seven away matches in Serie A. If they are able to repeat that in Naples, then it may be good enough for a win but the tip is for these sides to play out a draw. It promises to be a thrilling encounter, with a Correct Score bet of 1-1 advised.
