Only two points separate the reigning champions from the current leaders, as Juve are coming off 14 consecutive Serie A victories and the Partenopei won eight in a row – both club records.
“Napoli have found their own unique identity in defence under Maurizio Sarri,” ex-Juventus legend Del Piero told Sky Sport Italia.
“They have a solidity that allows them to be sharper in attack, with Gonzalo Higuain scoring in pretty much every game, ably supported by Marek Hamsik.
“I hope this match can be the confirmation yet again of how many stellar players are in these two teams.”
Napoli hadn’t been in this position since 1989, but the Bianconeri won the last four consecutive Scudetti.
“It is important for Napoli not to focus on the idea they are playing the decisive match against Juventus, because otherwise an emotional component can creep in and that can affect some players, especially away from home.
“If they are able to play with the same light-hearted approach they usually take, then Napoli really do have an excellent chance of winning in Turin.
“After four consecutive titles, Juve allowed themselves the luxury of dropping points at the start. Now they have recovered lost ground with a magnificent record run.
“The squad changed a lot in recent months. As well as the players who left, they changed their style of football and had to adjust to new arrivals.
“Losing Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Carlos Tevez was a blow at the start, but new equally valid talents have arrived in their place.
“A lot of the credit must go to Max Allegri, as he brought a different sense of calm and confidence to the side. The players give a great deal, but at Juventus it’s all about being a unit.”
