This weekend, Juventus aims to sustain their hopes for the Scudetto title with a victory during their visit to the current Champions, Napoli.
The hosts hit rock bottom in the recent weeks when they couldn’t secure a victory in four successive matches across all competitions, concluding three in a draw and losing one. Francesco Calzona’s team was anticipated to retaliate, which they did by overturning a goal deficit to triumph over Sassuolo midweek. After their previous 5-1 victory over Juventus at this ground, the Blues are aiming for another significant win on Sunday evening.
Juventus has been the only squad to pose a real challenge to Inter Milan for the Serie A title. Until mid-January, The Old Lady was closely trailing the runaway champions, Inter, until they experienced a dip in performance. Despite this, Massimiliano Allegri’s team is heading into Sunday’s match with some confidence, having broken their four-game streak without a win by defeating Frosinone 3-2 in their last game.
Napoli vs Juventus Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Napoli’s inability to rank within the top six is primarily attributed to their defence. The “Gli Azzuri” haven’t managed to keep a clean sheet in their last six games across all competitions. There was only one game where “btts &— yes” bets weren’t lost.
Lately, Juventus’ defence has been showing signs of vulnerability. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last five Serie A games, a trend I believe will persist against the champions. With a minimum of four goals seen in each of the visitor’s last two games, my prediction for the correct score in Sunday’s match is 2-2.

Meanwhile, Juventus will still be missing Nicolò Fagioli and Paul Pogba, who are serving long bans.
The list of absentees among the visitors also includes Moise Kean due to a shin injury, Weston McKennie with a shoulder problem, Mattia Perin suffering from a ligament injury, Danilo with an ankle issue, Adrien Rabiot with a foot injury, and Mattia De Sciglio with a bone condition.
DuÅ¡an VlahoviÄ, who has scored three goals in his last two games for the Old Lady, is expected to lead the team, while Timothy Weah is making a strong case for a starting position in the midfield.
