Under the snow-dusted, jagged peaks of the Western Alps along the northern rim of Turin, the Allianz Arena in Torino gears up to host a Matchweek 10 fixture in Serie A. Home team Juventus and Napoli face each other in what is set to be a thrilling clash.
Juventus are placed ninth in the Italian top tier and are coming off a 2-0 defeat to Genoa in the last game. They have won just two out of their last five games. Keeping clean sheets has not been easy for Juventus
Luciano Spalletti will be up against his former side Napoli. They have won 11 of their 16 home games against the team from Naples. Both sides are level on 14 points.
Napoli, who are level on points with Juventus, are unbeaten in their last three games. They won 4-3 against Bodo Glimt in the UEFA Champions League after McTominay scored a brace in a seven-goal thriller. After a 3-3 draw against AS Roma, the Naples-based outfit are coming off a 4-1 win over Monza in the last game.
Hojlund, Politano, Marin and De Bruyne found their name in the scoresheet. They are led by Marco Landucci. Massimiliano Allegri will be unavailable on the touchline and will be serving his final game of a two-match touchline suspension.
This is a crucial game for both sides to grab all three points to climb higher in the points table.
