Juventus vs Napoli tips and predictions: Stubborn Old Lady to extend unbeaten run
Round 15 of Serie A will kick off at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on Friday night as Juventus host Napoli (1945 GMT).
After their heavy loss to Inter, the defending Serie A champions will travel to Turin to face the team with the longest unbeaten streak in the league at the moment.
The Bianconeri are slowly becoming the efficient and pragmatic team we’ve grown accustomed to seeing dominate Serie A in the past.
After 14 rounds of play, Max Allegri's team is in second place in the league, just two points behind the leader Inter. The team has 10 wins, 3 draws, and only one defeat.
Juventus scored a dramatic late goal to beat Monza last time out. The Bianconeri conceded an equalizer in extra time before Federico Gatti scored and stole the points in the dying seconds.
Defending champions Napoli look to be out of the fight for the Scudetto. Walter Mazzarri’s team has managed to win just seven of 14 this campaign.
Juventus will no doubt look to avenge the two defeats from last season. They were narrowly beaten, 1-0, at Allianz Stadium, but there was nothing close about the reverse fixture.
Juventus suffered an embarrassing 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Napoli, with Victor Osimhen scoring twice.
