Napoli vs Juventus: Predictions and Betting Tips

Napoli

Napoli come into this match on the back of two wins in their opening two games, having conceded just one goal. They currently occupy fifth place, but are level on points with the four teams ahead of them in the standings.

The transfer window has ended with Zambo Anguissa, Juan Jesus, and Matteo Politano joining Napoli.

Of the last ten meetings against Juventus, Napoli have only won on three occasions.

Juventus

The season could scarcely have started worse for Juventus, with a draw and a defeat in their first two games. The defeat came at home to newly promoted Empoli.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure will have a huge effect on Juve – he scored 28, 37, and 36 official goals in the three seasons he was with the team. What is worse, the position he occupied has not been covered by another striker.

For the first time in a long time, Juventus are not the favourites to win the Serie A title.

Key Stats:

• Five consecutive wins for Napoli
• Napoli have only conceded three goals in their last five games
• Two wins, one draw, and two defeats for Juventus in their last five games
• Juventus have conceded at least one goal in all of their last five games

Napoli vs Juventus Predictions

For the first time in a long time, Juventus will face their big rivals but will not be considered the clear favourites. In fact, Napoli look to have a better squad this season, and the results from each team’s first two matches further confirms this. The fact that the game will be played at Napoli’s home ground also seems to us a decisive factor in favour of the home side.
