Juventus vs Napoli Prediction and Betting Tips | September 21st 2024

Juventus will invite Napoli to Allianz Stadium (Juventus Stadium) in Serie A on Saturday. Both teams have got their season underway on a strong note, with the hosts unbeaten in four league games and I Partenopei recording three wins.

The Old Lady recorded 3-0 wins in their first two league games of the season but have played out goalless draws in their last two outings. They bounced back in their UEFA Champions League opener on Tuesday with a 3-1 home triumph over PSV. Kenan Yıldız and Weston McKennie scored in the first half while on-loan winger Nicolás González scored his first goal for the club in the 52nd minute.

The visitors suffered a 3-0 loss to Verona in their campaign opener and have recorded consecutive wins in their last three games. They played Cagliari in their previous outing last week and registered a comfortable 4-0 away win. Romelu Lukaku had two assists and a goal in that match

  • Both teams registered home wins in their league meetings last season.
  • I Bianconeri have scored just five goals in their last six meetings against the visitors while conceding 11 times.
  • Napoli have won just one of their last five away games in Serie A while suffering two losses.

  • The Old Lady have suffered just three losses in their last 25 Serie A home games, with one coming against Gli Azzurri.

Juventus vs Napoli Prediction

I Bianconeri have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their league campaign, extending their unbeaten streak in Serie A to 12 games. They have kept clean sheets in their last five league outings but have just one clean sheet in their last eight meetings against the visitors.

Francisco Conceiçao remains sidelined with an injury while Arkadiusz Milik faces a race against time to prove his fitness against his former employers. Federico Gatti picked up a knock against PSV earlier this week and is a doubt. They play for the third time in a week, so Thiago Motta is expected to rotate his squad.

I Partenopei have bounced back well from their opening loss at the start of their campaign with three consecutive wins, in which they scored nine goals while conceding just once. They have suffered just one loss in their last six meetings against the Turin-based hosts, while recording four wins and will look to build on that record.

Antonio Conte has a clean bill of health for the trip to Turin and his players are better-rested than the home side, who played in the Champions League in midweek.

This is a big match for both managers, who took charge of their teams this summer. They will look to leave a good account of themselves here. Considering the current form of the two teams, a closely contested draw will likely ensue.
