Napoli vs Juventus Preview

  • Competition: Serie A.
  • Date: Saturday, January 25.
  • Time: 5:00 PM GMT.
  • Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Napoli vs Juventus will take place in the late kick-off slot in Serie A on January 25 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in game week 22.

Hosts Napoli will enter this contest in the top spot in the table with 50 points from 21 matches. They are in an incredible run of form, having won each of their last five matches across competitions. In this run, they have also scored 11 goals and conceded just three, keeping three clean sheets as well. This run has helped them create a three-point cushion for themselves from Inter Milan in second place. They will look to repeat the trick after defeating Atalanta 3-2 last time.

Juve, on the other hand, are fifth with 37 points from their 21 games so far. They are the only side still unbeaten in the division, and have won one, drawn three, and lost one of their last five matches across competitions. The Old Lady has scored five goals and conceded four, keeping two clean sheets in the process. Their last outing was a goalless draw against Club Brugge away from home and they will look to perform better in the next match.

On that note, let’s take a look at the team news coming out of both camps.
