Juventus to win thriller against title rivals Napoli
2615

One of the biggest games of the Serie A campaign is champions Juventus against perennial challengers Napoli. This season we have an early treat as the pair meet on Saturday night at the Allianz Stadium.

Juventus opened their title defence with a narrow 1-0 win at Parma last weekend. The victory ended a run of five matches without a league win for the Bianconeri, dating back to April. However, in truth, the team from Turin took their foot off the gas late in the season, as they had tied up the title so early.

Despite the poor end of the season, Juventus maintained a strong home record in Serie A, as the Bianconeri are undefeated in 21 matches on home soil, having recorded 17 wins.

Juventus have only failed to score in one of their last 29 home matches in the Italian top-flight, which came in their last home league defeat ironically against Napoli in April 2018.

The home side has had the better of this fixture in recent years, winning three of the last four meetings between the two teams.

Napoli kicked-off the new campaign with a 4-3 win in Florence against Fiorentina. The win was the visitors fifth in their last six Serie A matches going back to April. Carlo Ancelotti’s team have been in prolific form in those wins too, scoring at least twice in all of the victories.

The visitors have been dangerous opponents on their travels in the Italian top-flight, winning four of their last five outings away from Naples.

Just like their general games in Serie A of late, the visitors have been prolific, scoring at least twice in all four of their recent away wins.

Napoli will be hoping to push the champions harder for the Scudetto this season. However, Forebet predicts they will experience an early blow in the title race by suffering a defeat in a high-scoring in Turin.
