Napoli vs Juventus
Italian Serie A 2017/18
Date: Friday, 1st December 2017
Kick-Off: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadio San Paolo (Napoli).

Napoli will hope to maintain their unbeaten start to the season as they take on Juventus at the Stadio San Paolo on Friday night. This will arguably be the biggest clash of the season as the Partenopei welcome the reigning Scudetto champions, and right now, the hosts are looking quite comfortable whilst the visitors have had their ups and downs so far this term.

Maurizio Sarri’s men have played some of the most exciting football in not just Italy, but in Europe. The Partenopei have plundered a whopping 35 goals in Serie A, which is only topped by Juventus’s 40. Expect plenty of goals in this fixture, and Napoli beat Juventus 3-2 in their last meeting, so another high-scoring fixture could be on the cards.

Both teams have scored in all but one of the last nine meetings between the two sides. All four of the last meetings last season saw both teams score and expect the same to take place on Friday evening. Ex-Napoli man Gonazlo Higuain could prove to be a catalyst in this fixture in this one, as he has scored in four meeting against his former side.

Napoli vs Juventus: Prediction

Although Napoli have lost more matches to Juventus in Serie A than against any other side, the Partenopei have only lost one of their last ten against the Bianconeri at the Stadio San Paolo. In the form they have been all season, it’s hard to see them losing this fixture, although Juventus are a formidable opponent and will surely give them a tough fight in Friday night’s fiesta.
