Napoli vs Juventus Match Preview

Napoli faces Juventus for the 22nd round of the Italian Serie A at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona.

The hosts failed to get something positive out of their recent match against Genoa and suffered a 2-1 defeat. They had a very bad start in the game and found themselves back in the score by 2-0 at the end of the first half. In the last 20 minutes of the game, Napoli tried to get back in the game and reduced the scoreline to 2-1 at the 86th minute. After this defeat, Napoli is ranked 6th in the league with a total of 37 points, 3 points away from the top three spots.

In the previous round of the Italian Cup, Napoli suffered another defeat, this time against Atalanta by 3-1. In the first leg, the match ended in a draw, and as a result, Napoli got disqualified from the competition.

Juventus, on the other hand, continues their great performances, coming from a 3-consecutive-win streak, after their recent 2-0 win over Roma. They entered the pitch strong and decisive to get all three points and deservedly reached victory. The visitors are aiming for the 1st spot on the table, having a total of 42 points, being just 7 points away from the first-placed Milan, having also a match in hand.

In the previous round of the Cup, Juventus and Inter played a bore draw on Wednesday and got qualified to the big final to face Atalanta.

Napoli is currently in bad shape and Gennaro Gattuso must change things around to end the bad streak of consecutive defeats. On the opposite, Juventus fights for another season for the title, getting even closer to the top spot. I think Juventus are the best team in Italy and has the upper hand to win here. Juventus to win is my call for this one, offered at 2.05 odds.
