Napoli vs Juventus Prediction & Betting Tips (25 January)

Italian champion in 2023 but very disappointing last year, Napoli is back at the forefront this season. Antonio Conte's men quite simply occupy the lead in Serie A with one game more and 3 points ahead of their runner-up. Full of confidence, they have won 8 of their last 9 league matches, losing 1. After being surprised at home by Lazio in early December 0-1, Naples in turn won against Udinese 1-3 , Genoa 1-2, Venice 1-0, Fiorentina 0-3, Hellas Verona 2-0 and Atalanta last weekend 2-3 . Deprived of the European Cup this season and eliminated from the Italian Cup, Napoli can focus exclusively on the battle for the Scudetto. Eager to get involved in the fight for the title this season, Juventus quickly became disillusioned.

5th in Serie A with 2 lengths behind 4th place, the Piedmontese team will even have to work hard to take part in the next Champions League. The Bianconeri have not yet lost since the start of the championship 8 wins and 13 draws but regularly let slip too many points. After stringing together 3 draws against Fiorentina 2-2, Torino 1-1 and Atalanta 1-1, they performed well last weekend by dominating AC Milan at home 2-0 . At the beginning of January, the Old Lady lost against the same AC Milan in the semi-final of the Italian Super Cup 1-2.

For this poster, Naples is still deprived of defense captain Buongiorno, injured. Otherwise, it’s all hands on deck this Saturday. We are thinking in particular of the influential striker Lukaku (8 goals and 6 assists in SA) but also of the essential midfielders McTominay (5 goals and 2 assists in SA) and Zambo-Anguissa (4 goals and 3 assists in SA). The first two men scored against Atalanta last weekend, as did winger Politano (2 goals in SA). This winter, Georgian international Kvaratskhelia packed his bags to join PSG. This is a big loss for Napoli who are counting on David Neres (2 goals and 4 assists in SA) to replace Kvara. Also note that replacement goalkeeper Caprile was loaned to Cagliari but Scuffet went the other way. In addition, full-back Mario Rui (without a club), midfielder Folorunsho (Fiorentina) and winger Zerbin (Venice) left the club while midfielders Hasa (Lecce) and Billing (Bournemouth) were recruited.

Juventus did not obviously cannot count on executive defender Bremer and replacement full-back Cabal, whose season is already over. In addition, former Marseillais Milik is still in the infirmary while the participation of Portuguese winger Conceiçao is not assured. Finally, affected against AC Milan, the Turkish prodigy Yildiz (4 goals and 2 assists in SA) is announced as doubtful. Back on the field last weekend, striker Vlahovic (7 goals in SA) started on the bench, leaving the point to the usual winger Nico Gonzalez (1 goal in SA). The wings could be occupied by Mbangula (3 goals and 2 assists in SA) and Weah (5 goals in SA), who both scored on the last day. While waiting for the French international Kolo Muani, Juventus enlisted the promising right back Alberto Costa (Vitoria Guimaraes) this winter.
