Preview: Juventus vs Napoli

Current Situation

Napoli are the defending champions. They come into this match level on points with AC Milan after two straight wins. On Sunday, they try to continue their good run against a Juventus team that looks stronger again under Luciano Spalletti.

Napoli Team News & Form

Napoli sit behind AC Milan only because of goal difference. They have already lost three league games this season, which is almost as many as in their title-winning campaign last year, and they have one point less than at this stage in 2024/25.

However, their home form is still a major strength. Antonio Conte’s team have dropped points at home only once this season (five wins, one draw). Napoli scored three goals against both Inter and Atalanta — two teams who finished in the top four last season. They have not lost a home league match since almost a year ago against Lazio.

Juventus Team News & Form

Former Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti earned his second league win with Juventus last weekend, beating Cagliari 2–1. Juventus are just one point away from the top six, although they have two points fewer than this time last season.

Juventus must improve away from home. Both of their away matches against teams in the top half of Serie A this season ended in defeats without scoring. Juventus have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight away games in all competitions (two wins, three draws, three losses).

Head-to-Head Record

Juventus have the historical advantage in this matchup overall. However, they have lost all six of their last league games away at Napoli since 2020, conceding 14 goals in those matches.

Key Stats

Both teams scored in four of Napoli’s last five home league matches. No goals have been scored in the first 15 minutes of any Napoli home league game this season. Juventus have come from behind to earn points three times under Spalletti. Only one of Juventus’ last nine matches was 0–0 at halftime.

Players to Watch

Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić spent years at Juventus but has never beaten them (three draws, six losses). He has kept five clean sheets in his last eight games and now has a big opportunity.

Juventus forward Kenan Yıldız scored twice against Cagliari, and in eight of his last nine scoring games, Juventus avoided defeat.

Injuries

Both teams came through their Coppa Italia wins on Wednesday without any new injuries.
