Juventus host Napoli at the Allianz Stadium this Sunday evening. Luciano Spalletti’s squad can climb back into the top four and close the distance to Serie A frontrunners Inter Milan with a victory.
Ahead of this crucial Round 22 clash at the Allianz Stadium, the Old Lady find themselves four points adrift of their Neapolitan foes.
Under Spalletti, Juve have displayed strong momentum lately. In their past five outings, they notched a 3-0 victory against Sassuolo, demolished Cremonese 5-0, suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat to Cagliari, and beat Benfica 2-0 in the Champions League.
The Bianconeri hold sixth in Serie A on 39 points from 21 fixtures (11W-6D-4L). Post-Spalletti’s late-October arrival, they’ve gathered 24 points — outpacing Napoli’s 22 and trailing just Milan (28) and Inter (31).
Juventus team news
Dusan Vlahovic is sidelined until early March 2026, forcing Luciano Spalletti to depend on Jonathan David and Lois Openda up top, alongside Turkish star Kenan Yildiz in an advanced midfield position.
Centre-back Daniele Rugani is out with a calf issue until early February, and left-back Jonas Rouhi remains questionable due to a muscle problem.
Amid these absences, Spalletti maintains his team isn’t primed for Scudetto contention yet, noting they “are still not on the same level as Inter or Napoli” after the 5-0 Cremonese rout. That said, only Inter have surpassed Juventus in points and victories since his November start, with the Old Lady netting more goals than any Serie A rival in that timeframe.
Juventus predicted lineup
Possible Juventus starting XI: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; David.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 5pm BST on Sunday, 25th January.
