Napoli welcome Juventus to the Stadio San Paolo on Saturday and both sides will surely be desperate to claim a victory following disappointing results in midweek.
Napoli Match Betting News
Napoli managed to get their season back on track with two consecutive 5-0 victories but much to the surprise of many, Maurizio Sarri’s men only labored to a goalless draw against minnows Carpi during the midweek fixture on Wednesday night.
As a result, Napoli will be desperate to bounce back with a victory but it will surely not be easy this weekend as they now play hosts to a similarly desperate Juventus side.
Jonathan De Guzman remains unavailable for Napoli while Mariano Andujar is also out due to a broken hand.
Juventus Match Betting News
Juventus romped their way to the Italian Serie A title last season but the start of the current campaign has been anything but smooth for the defending champions.
Currently in 13th position after 5 matches, Juventus arguably endured their worst result of the season after being held by minnows Frosinone at home during the midweek clash.
The result proved that Juve have to improve dramatically in order to be able to defend their crown and the away clash against Napoli on Saturday will hold a lot of importance for Max Allegri’s side.
Claudio Marchisio, Sami Khedira and Kwadwo Asamoah remain out with injuries for Juventus while it remains to be seen whether striker Mario Mandzukic will be making a return to the starting lineup.
Napoli vs Juventus Match Prediction
Both teams are looking out of sorts heading into the clash and it is anybody’s guess as to which side will come out on top on the night.
Juventus did manage a double over Napoli last season and despite their poor form at the moment, they have to be considered favourites for the clash.
There is no doubting that both teams have to improve significantly in order to be able to get back to winning ways but Juventus should be strong enough to claim a victory over their rivals.
