Napoli v Juventus

Napoli vs Juventus Preview

Napoli will be in jubilant mood when they return to their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona for this upcoming clash against Juventus on Sunday evening in what is the pick of this weekend's Serie A fixtures following a 6-1 thrashing of Sassuolo away from home in midweek, while Juventus registered their first win in five games last weekend when The Old Lady picked up an important three points by way of a 3-2 home win against Frosinone.

Napoli will therefore be seeking back-to-back wins in the domestic top flight for the first time since the end of September when they registered victories over Udinese and Lecce in what has otherwise been a pretty frustrating campaign for Francesco Calzona and his side as they currently occupy a disappointing ninth place in the Serie A table.

Inconsistent results have cost Napoli a top six spot so far in this season's campaign and has resulted in the hosts trailing sixth placed Roma by a four-point margin ahead of Sunday's vital clash with Juventus, thanks to achieving just four wins from their last 13 matches overall.

Napoli have also slipped to five defeats within this period as well but the goals market looks inviting for this clash as seven of Napoli's last 10 home games have resulted in both teams scoring.

Juventus ended what would have seemed a worrying four-match winless run in the Italian top flight last time out when they registered a 3-2 home win against Frosinone which helped maintain Juventus' second place position in the Serie A table but they still trail the runaway league leaders, Inter Milan, by a 12-point margin with just 12 matches remaining of the season.

Juventus had previously been held to draws by Empoli and Verona in 1-1 and 2-2 stalemates respectively along with being handed defeats by Inter Milan and Udinese but although these losses look like they've put a dent in Massimiliano Allegri's Serie A title ambitions, the visitors still possess a comfortable looking 11-point cushion over fifth placed Atalanta and a Champions League spot.

The bigger picture shows Juventus have suffered just these two defeats from their previous 21 league matches overall which gives the visitors a decent chance of claiming something from this upcoming trip to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona especially as Allegri's men have lost just once in their last 10 matches overall on their travels.

The goals market also appeals from Juventus' perspective as well, as five of their last 10 away games have also resulted in both teams scoring.

Napoli v Juventus Verdict

Goals for both sides certainly looks the safest option for what looks like being a tough clash to call and the biggest fixture of this weekend's Serie A schedule.
