Juventus vs Napoli Betting Tip and Predictions. In the big Italian derby this weekend in Serie A, Juventus take on Napoli. Read below betting preview, useful info and predictions for the match between Juventus vs Napoli.

Juventus stand at the second position with only two points less than their opponent, so in the case of win home side against Napoli, Juve could take the first position. Home team are in the amazing form with 12 consecutive win in all competitions and without any doubt they are favorites to win this game. Big blow for home team is the injury of Chiellini, the key defender. But, this not be the problem for this match. He will miss the game against Bayern Munich in the 1/8 finals of the UEFA Champions League for 10 days when Juventus will host Bavarians. In the first half of the season Napoli beat Juventus, so the team from Turin will be fully motivated to win this game and take the top position in Serie A.

Napoli stand at the top of the table and they are one of the main candidates for the title this season. Juventus dominate in Italian football for years and this year they finally have a very serious concurrent for the title. Visitors won the title in Serie A last time in the season 1989–90 and they are now closer than ever to repeat that success. Even Diego Maradona has promised to arrive by helicopter if Napoli fulfill their promise of winning the league title. Napoli lost only two matches this season. Visitors have the best attack in league, scored 53 goals in 24 matches (average more than two goals per match) and in the absence of Chiellini they see their chance. Juventus have the best defensive line in Serie A and this is the real test for Napoli’s attackers, Higuain and Insigne, to show are they ready for the big matches.
