Napoli vs Juventus: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast
The deadly duo Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia will look to haunt Juventus
It has been difficult for Napoli to make a mark in the league this season, with the team languishing in 9th place. The dip in form resulted in the departure of Walter Mazzarri. After the appointment of Calzona, things have been looking up, and they have gone four matches unbeaten. In their most recent match against Sassuolo, Osimhen scored a hattrick and secured an impressive 1-6 away win.
With Juventus in title contention this season under the leadership of Massimiliano Allegri, he has developed an impressive team which combines experience with youth. After suffering back-to-back losses, the team has bounced back to pick up 4 points over the past two matches. Currently ranked second in the league, 12 points behind Inter, the Old Lady will need to start winning matches if they are to win the Scudetto this season.
