Napoli vs Juventus predictions for this Serie A clash on Saturday at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Napoli and Juventus are the stars of the Serie A match of the week, and which will be marked by the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo after his departure from Italy. Read on for our free 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.

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.
