Napoli face Juventus in weekend Serie A blockbuster.
Juventus aim to end their two-game winless streak as they host an in-form Napoli in a highly anticipated Serie A clash at the Allianz Stadium this Saturday.
Juventus
Juventus picked up a maiden 3-1 win in the revamped episode of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. Kenan Yıldız [21’] produced the opener to become the first goal scorer in the inaugural league phase of the competition after a curling right-footed effort to the top corner.
The Old Lady will now set her sights back on Serie A, with Saturday’s fixture against Napoli the subject of interest. Last weekend, Thiago Motta’s side earned a goalless draw against Empoli. That result left Juve with successive goalless draws, following a similar result against AS Roma, who became the first side to make a managerial change in Serie A after parting ways with De Rossi earlier in the week.
An impressive home record against Napoli could see Juve end their two-game winless run, having won 10 of their last 13 games on home turf against the visitors in Serie A. In addition, Juve, who sit in 4th place with 8 points [2W, 2D, 0L], will be keen to earn a fifth successive shutout, having kept a clean sheet in the last four opening games.
Dušan Vlahović is expected to start in attack when Motta lays out the familiar 4—2—3—1. Meanwhile, new signing Francisco Conceição is sidelined till early October due to a muscle injury. Gatti came off with an ankle injury against Empoli and remains in doubt for this fixture.
Napoli
Napoli have now picked up three wins in a row following their opening day 3-0 defeat to Verona. A 4-0 win over Cagliari last weekend left Napoli with 9 points and in 2nd place on the Serie A table ahead of Saturday’s highly anticipated fixture against Juventus.
This match will pit Conte against his former employers. An impressive run of six wins in nine games against Juventus [6W, 1D, 2L] could serve as a source of inspiration for the visitors. Victory over Juventus would leave Napoli with four consecutive victories for the first time since they last achieved such a feat under Luciano Spalletti.
They enjoyed an eight-game unbeaten run during that period between January and February 2023. A 3—4—2—1 formation with Romelu Lukaku in attack is expected for this fixture against Juve.
Napoli’s new arrival has now scored two goals and created two assists in as many games for the Blues. Napoli have no injury worries ahead of the weekend.
