Napoli-Juventus is a match of the 22nd day of Serie A and is played on Saturday at 6:00 pm: statistics, news, likely lineups, prediction, live TV, streaming.
It was a victory with a tricolor aftertaste that Napoli achieved a week ago in Bergamo against Atalanta, with the Azzurri greeted by a jubilant crowd once they landed at Capodichino. Antonio Conte won the “duel” with colleague Gian Piero Gasperini, avenging the October drubbing and ousting, for now, the Dea from the Scudetto fight.
The standings, in fact, see the partenopei in first place with 50 points, three more than reigning champions Inter (the nerazzurri must, however, recover the match with Fiorentina). The Bergamaschi, on the other hand, have slipped to -7. At the Gewiss Stadium, Napoli failed to record its fourth clean sheet in a row (2-3), but it mattered little: it was difficult to keep the goal inviolate against a prolific team like Atalanta, which struck back blow after blow until Lukaku’s winning header, capable of sending the Azzurri fans into ecstasy ten minutes from the end of a very intense match, with almost Premier League pace. For Conte it was the sixth consecutive victory and the odds of his Napoli, which unlike its direct competitors can allow itself the luxury of thinking only about the championship, are going up day by day despite the departure of one of the best players, Kvaratskhelia, who moved to PSG (Napoli has not yet found a replacement). Another good test will be the one with Juventus, a team historically disliked at the foot of Vesuvius and representing an important chapter in Conte’s player-coach career.
Juventus still undefeated
The Bianconeri in the league regained oxygen by beating Milan 2-0 thanks to Weah and Mbangula, a success that allowed Thiago Motta to shake off some of the pressure and return to winning ways after almost a month.
Juventus thus moved closer to fourth place (Lazio is at +2) while retaining their unbeaten streak, but the disappointing performance in Bruges in the Champions League, a match in which Locatelli and his teammates did not go beyond a draw (0-0), yet another this season, again raised concerns. The playoffs are in the bag but in Belgium the Old Lady squandered a golden opportunity to get back into the top eight.
Napoli-Juventus: latest lineup news
It is unlikely that Conte will make any changes to the lineup that beat Atalanta: Juan Jesus and Rrahmani – Buongiorno is still unavailable – will be in the center of defense, while Di Lorenzo and Olivera (the latter favored over Spinazzola) will act on their sides. In front, the trident formed by Politano, Lukaku and Neres is confirmed.
In Juventus, the only unavailable players are Milik, Cabal and Bremer. Motta could throw newcomer Kolo Muani into the fray immediately, preferring Vlahovic. The former PSG man would fill the role of first forward in the trident also formed by the returning Conceiçao and the jewel Yildiz.

The Prediction
Will former Conte’s Napoli inflict Juventus’ first league defeat? Certainly the Azzurri at this moment seem to be better off than the Bianconeri, who at the “Maradona” could also discount the European fatigues. Slight preference for the partenopei, then: Napoli, after all, has won 6 of the last 10 challenges against Juventus in Serie A and is the team that has done so the most since the beginning of 2020 to date.
The probable formations of Napoli-Juventus
NAPOLI (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Juan Jesus, Olivera; Zambo Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay; Politano, Lukaku, David Neres.
JUVENTUS (4-3-3): Di Gregorio; Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso; Koopmeiners, Locatelli, Thuram; Conceiçao, Kolo Muani, Yildiz.
