Juventus look to get back to winning ways on Sunday when they host Napoli in a Serie A match in Turin. The Old Lady have won nine Serie A titles in a row and seek an unprecedented tenth with former player Andrea Pirlo at the helm. They opened the campaign with a 3-0 home win over Sampdoria before drawing 2-2 in the capital against AS Roma. It leaves them sixth after two games. Napoli are two points ahead in top spot after an emphatic start to the season. Gennaro Gattuso's team followed up a comfortable 2-0 victory at Parma with a 6-0 battering of Genoa on home turf. Playing exceptional attacking football, Napoli are looking like one of the early frontrunners to stop Juventus from extending their title streak to double figures. While I Partenopei have the likes of Lozano and Mertens in scoring form, Juventus can still upon veteran goal machine Cristiano Ronaldo to produce the goods. The 35-year-old has three goals this season, a decent start to his bid to improve on a league campaign in which he scored 31 goals.

Napoli have been in fine form this year and can already boast two victories over Juventus in 2020. However, much of their good fortune and good play comes on home turf. Napoli failed to win their final three away league matches last season. Juventus also showed cracks in those final weeks, losing at home to Roma, their first home league defeat in two years. With Pirlo still cutting his teeth in senior management, it could be an opportune moment for his former teammate Gattuso to get one over on him. The project he is building with Napoli is winning admirers. Expect it to catch further attention with a result here. Napoli double chance.
