Napoli vs Juventus predictions for this Saturday’s Serie A clash in Naples. Napoli are 6th with 37 points while Juventus are 3rd with 42 points. Read on for our predictions and betting tips.
Napoli to push for top four
Napoli lost their last match in the Serie A against Genoa and were eliminated by Atalanta in the semi final of the Coppa Italia. They will look to bounce back as they host reigning champions Juventus who beat the Napolitanos in the Italian Super Cup.
Coach Gattuso will be keen to get his team back on track and get a good result here as they are four points behind a Champions League spot and need to collect points to stay in touch.
In their last two home games Napoli scored eight goals. They have scored in seven straight home games.
On form Juventus to close the gap with top two
After winning the Italian Super Cup and qualifying for the Coppa Italia Final, the Bianconerri are full of confidence and are a very hard team to beat in recent matches.
Andrea Pirlo knows it won’t be a stroll in the park during their visit to Naples and thus must make sure to keep his team’s focus as their season is nearing decisive stages.
Juve are on a three match winning streak in the league and with top scorer Ronaldo still a big threat up front and able to score goals, Juve will feel they have a good chance of winning this one.
