Juventus vs Napoli Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 21/04/2023, 19:10  by Daniel Ngulu in Serie A Predictions

It has been a tumultuous week for Juventus and Napoli but as the two face off in the Serie A on Sunday, hosts Juventus will have more settled minds. Napoli have a 14-point lead in the league, traveling to Juventus who are two points below the top two. After a successful appeal, Juventus temporarily have their 15 points back and this has propelled them back into the top four race. They have a chance to disrupt the title race as well, if they can claim three points from this game. In a week when they got their 15 points back, Juventus also made it to the Europa League semifinals and they have two competitions to vie for silverware from. Things haven't been great domestically though, with straight losses in their last two league games. In the last five matches across all competitions, Juventus have one win and they haven't been scoring a lot either. In only two of their last 10 matches have Juventus scored more than a goal. They have also conceded more than a goal in two of their last 10 matches. Eight of their last 10 matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Napoli, just like Juventus, are on one win in their last five matches. They are coming into this game on the back of three matches without a win and were eliminated from the Champions League in their last outing, following a 1-1 draw with AC Milan. The last few matches have been disappointing, from Napoli's point of view, and they will be desperate to return to winning ways even though they aren’t in any danger of being toppled. The positive news for Napoli has to be the return to action of Victor Osimhen, who scored a late equalizer against Milan in the last game. The Nigerian will definitely improve the team, with Napoli having failed to score in three of the last five matches. They have one clean sheet only in the last five matches and each of the last three ended in under 2.5 goals.
