Juventus has three points more than the vice-champion Napoli. As for their previous duels, it is interesting that the guests have celebrated on both occasions last year, while before that Juventus made four consecutive victories at home, and Napoli made two wins and one draw on their field.
However, at the very end of last season, Napoli has managed to celebrate a victory over Juventus after a long time, and we believe that this will only be an additional motive for the “Old Lady” to try to revenge to them in an appropriate manner on Saturday. This is especially because the current Italian champions have only celebrated in the current part of the season, with the proviso that six victories were made in the championship and one at the start of the Champions League, when they celebrated with 2-0 as guests over Valencia.
Of course, thanks to this maximum performance in the first six rounds of Serie A, Juventus currently occupies the leading position on the table, with the proviso that their first companion is Napoli, so this is actually an ideal opportunity to move further away from them. That is why we expect Allegri to be on the field, and we have to add that they still cannot count on the injured defender de Sciglio and midfielders Khedira and Spinazzola, while striker Douglas Costa is suspended.
Probable lineups Juventus: Szczesny – Cancelo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro – Emre Can, Pjanić, Matuidi – Bernardeschi, Mandzukic, Ronaldo
As far as the guests from Naples, we have already said that they are awaiting this big derby with three points less than the leading Juventus, because they have experienced only one defeat in this season's third round by Sampdoria. Namely, in the remaining five appearances in Serie A they have made the same number of wins, while they at the start of the Champions League played only 0-0 with Red Star in Belgrade.
However, after that match, the Napoli has started playing much better in the championship, because they have made a 3-1 victory over Torino as guests, while they last week at home celebrated with 3-0 over Parma. Otherwise, in that duel, coach Ancelotti also managed to rest a few key players, but all of them will now be back on the field against Juventus, while we still need to add that the injured goalkeeper Meret, defenders Chiriches and Ghoulam and midfielder Younes are all out of action due to injuries.
Probable lineups SSC Napoli: Ospina – Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Mario Rui – Allan, Hamsik, Zielinski – Callejon, Milik, Insigne
Of course, Napoli should be the toughest opponent for Juventus in the current part of the season, but the “Old Lady” has shown in the previous seven appearances that they can win even when they do not play well, so we now expect them to win all three points.
Pick: 1 Juventus wins
