📢 What to expect from the marquee match of Serie A's 22nd round between Juventus and Napoli? The clash will take place in Turin at the Allianz Stadium, where the teams currently sit in 5th and 3rd place in the standings, both vying for top positions. Although Napoli have struggled to secure victories recently, they shouldn't be underestimated-just look at Inter, who are steamrolling through opponents yet only managed a 2-2 draw at home against this Napoli side.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Juventus and Napoli over recent years includes 47 matches, with the numbers strikingly balanced: both teams have claimed 20 victories each, alongside 7 draws.

Notably, this loss was one of only two for Juventus since Spalletti took over as head coach.
Head-to-head statistics Juventus - Napoli
Juventus Turin Team Overview
⚪ Juventus are in excellent form. Over their last 13 matches, the team have secured 10 victories-an impressive turnaround after a shaky start to the season. In the league standings, the Turin side sit in fifth place, amassing 39 points from 21 matches. They trail the top four by just two points and are ten points off the top spot.
⚫ In their last outing, however, the "Old Lady" failed to achieve the desired result, falling to Cagliari away (0-1). This defeat can be considered more of an anomaly, as Juventus dominated in all aspects but were let down by poor finishing, while their opponents clinched victory with just three shots and a total xG of 0.29. Just a few days later, the Turin club bounced back by confidently defeating Benfica 2-0 in the Champions League.

Napoli Team Overview
🔵 Unlike Juventus, Napoli are currently going through a challenging period. A slew of injuries and a lack of full squad rotation have significantly impacted their performance, leaving fans disappointed with the results - only one win in their last five matches. After 21 rounds, the Partenopei sit third in the standings, but their gap from the top has widened to six points.
⚪ In their last league match, Napoli narrowly defeated Sassuolo at home (1-0), scoring the only goal in the 7th minute. Throughout the game, however, it was their opponents who looked more threatening and created more dangerous chances. Just a few days later, Napoli failed to overcome Copenhagen in the Champions League (1-1), despite the Danish side playing with ten men from the 35th minute. This result only underscores that Napoli are far from their best form at the moment.

Latest news
Juventus Turin
📣 Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti reflected on their commanding 2-0 victory over Benfica: "The match was evenly contested, and we earned this result. Our mindset was spot on from the first to the last minute, and the players performed well. In the second half, it was tougher to regain possession than in the first, but we scored two goals and hit the post. There was hardly any space in the box, so we had to carve it out." On the fans' reaction: "From the first minute, one of the fans shouted, 'Spalletti, sub him out!' every time someone misplaced a pass. I turned around once and told him, 'Listen, I only have five substitutions; I can't change everyone.' That's all there was to it."
🚫 The Turin side approach their next match with issues in both attack and defense. Daniele Rugani continues his recovery from a shin injury and is expected back in early February. Dusan Vlahovic is sidelined for a longer period as he recovers from a tendon injury and won't return before early March. Arkadiusz Milik is yet to reach optimal fitness due to physical discomfort, leaving his participation in doubt.
Napoli
📣 After the match against Copenhagen (1-1), Napoli's head coach Antonio Conte gave a stern assessment of his team's performance: "It hurts me, and my players should feel the pain too. We must be angry with ourselves. The game unfolded in a way that we should have won and advanced to the playoffs. We can come up with a thousand excuses, but they don't hold: under these conditions, we had to win." On the closing stages of the match: "We were in full control, playing 11 against 10, yet we still managed to create problems for ourselves. If this doesn't anger us, then we don't want to grow. Right now, our level doesn't match this tournament-this is the truth, and the responsibility lies with all of us."
🚫 Napoli's squad situation is even more strained. Billy Gilmour and David Neres are still recovering from groin and hamstring injuries-the former aims to return by mid-February, while the latter is out until the end of March. Amir Rrahmani, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, and Matteo Politano plan to be back on the field by early February. Kevin De Bruyne also remains sidelined with a thigh injury and is not expected to return until early March.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Matches involving Napoli rarely turn into high-scoring affairs, especially on the road - no more than two goals have been scored in 8 of their last 9 away games. Against top-tier clubs, the team plays even more cautiously, prioritizing solid defense and avoiding unnecessary risks. With this approach, expecting a flurry of goals seems unlikely, making the under 2.5 goals bet a reasonable choice.
🚩 Corner Prediction
This season, Napoli frequently reaches the corner flag - averaging 5.6 corners per match, the third-highest in Serie A. Moreover, they consistently surpass five corners; they have delivered more than four corners in 8 of their last 9 matches. In this scenario, betting on Napoli over 3.5 corners seems logical.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Juventus are the favorites in the upcoming clash, and it's hard to disagree given the current form of the teams. The Turin side are looking formidable, winning nearly every match, and at home, they rarely falter-securing six victories in their last seven home games, with five of those being clean sheets. Meanwhile, Napoli are struggling to impress even against weaker opponents, and their quality of play has noticeably declined. Therefore, our bet is on a Juventus victory. We expect a scoreline of 1-0 on the board.
