Juventus are set to host Napoli at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday in their next Serie A fixture.
Juventus come into this game on the back of a 2-2 draw against Roma last week at the Stadio Olimpico.
A brace from French midfielder Jordan Veretout for Roma was cancelled out by a brace from Juventus' Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. Juventus had midfielder Adrien Rabiot sent off in the second half.
Napoli, on the other hand, thrashed Genoa 6-0 last Sunday at the Stadio San Paolo. A brace from Mexican forward Hirving Lozano and goals from midfielder Piotr Zielinski, Dries Mertens, North Macedonia international Elif Elmas and Matteo Politano sealed the decisive victory for Gennaro Gattuso's men.

Juventus vs Napoli Prediction
Juventus have begun a new era under manager Andrea Pirlo, and have brought in the likes of Weston McKennie and Alvaro Morata. It is still early days, but Juventus are the favourites to win another league title, considering they have players like Paulo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo in the squad.
Napoli, on the other hand, have been extremely active in the transfer window. Victor Osimhen is the club's record signing, and Andrea Petagna and Amir Rrahmani have joined the club as well. While they have looked good under Gattuso, a match against Juventus is the true test of their prowess.
Juventus have a good squad and should be able to get a result out of this game, but Napoli is full of confidence at the moment and will not make it easy for The Old Lady of Italian football.
Prediction: Juventus 1-0 Napoli
