Luciano Spalletti has had an immediate impact at Napoli, guiding the team to two wins in their opening two matches in Serie A, and he will be hoping they proceed the same way when they host Juventus. Five points separate the two sides, Napoli in fifth place on six points and 12th placed Juventus have managed just one point. Napoli will still have Victor Osimhen suspended for this game but they should be able to cope. They are coming from a 2-1 win over Genoa in their last game, which made it 11 unbeaten matches in Serie A, with eight wins for Napoli. In seven of their last 10 league matches, Napoli have scored two or more. They only have one loss in their last 18 matches in the league, and that was in April against Juventus. The hosts here will be looking at this game with lots of confidence, having gone 12 unbeaten at home in the league, with nine wins, and they’ve also won in each of Juventus’ last two visits in the league.

Juventus opened their campaign with a 2-2 draw with Udinese then suffered a 1-0 loss to Empoli. Their lead scorer for the past few seasons, Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer with the team and Max Allegri has a tough task to lift his charges. Juventus didn’t have a very good campaign last term and the same has been carried to these early matches. They have no clean sheet in the last 22 matches across all competitions and also in the last 10 league games. They’ve failed to score in two of their last four matches, while seven of their last 10 in the league have produced over 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored in eight of Juventus’ last 10 away games in Serie A and with their defensive numbers, coupled by two straight losses at Napoli, they should have some jitters going to this game.
