This weekend of Serie A action sees some important ties at the start of 2023 and these Napoli vs. Juventus predictions could prove to be definitive in the title race. Napoli are currently leading the way at the top of the table with Juventus now moving up to second place.
Napoli vs. Juventus odds
1 – A draw – 29/11
2 – Napoli under 2.5 total goals – 4/5
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 13/15
4 – Both teams to score – 13/15
5 – A 1-1 draw – 32/5
The stakes could not be higher as Juventus head to Serie A leaders Napoli on Friday night. Juventus are plotting a potential title charge in the second half of the season but they face a huge task to try and haul back Luciano Spalletti’s pace setters.
Victory for the hosts would put them ten points clear of Juventus in second and potentially put an end to any chance of a battle in the coming weeks. With that in mind, Juventus simply cannot afford to lose at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and their recent form backs up their chances of a positive result.
Napoli got into their position on the back of an incredible run of one defeat in their last 13 league games, with Juventus losing one in their last ten league outings. That form makes it very difficult to pick a favourite and a draw looks to be a more solid prediction.
Despite their respective consistency, neither team have been flush with goals in recent games, with Napoli scoring under 2.5 goals in five of their last seven league matches, and Juventus have matched that record in their last seven Serie A clashes.
That figure carries over into overall goals scored per game for both teams, with only one of Juventus’ last five league games featuring over 2.5 goals scored in total and Napoli only seeing over 2.5 goals scored at full time twice in their last five domestic matches.
All the signs point to a tight and tense battle between the current top two teams in Serie A, with Juventus under pressure to make a dent in Napoli’s lead. But Max Allegri may have to settle for a single point on the road from this one.
