Juventus face off against Napoli in Sunday evening’s blockbuster clash.
The Bianconeri aim to extend their eight-match unbeaten run, but they’ll encounter stern resistance from a Napoli side that’s yet to taste defeat on home soil in Serie A this campaign, boasting five triumphs and a draw.
Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus outfit have gained momentum through three straight wins spanning various tournaments, capped by their recent 2-0 Coppa Italia success over Udinese, despite patchy league results. They sit seventh in the standings on 23 points, trailing Napoli by five.
