Juventus had their lead cut to four points at the top of the Serie A table after a fascinating set of midweek fixtures. The league leaders had been up to nine points clear and they  were leading at relegation-threatened Crotone, while second-placed Napoli were 2-1 down at home to Udinese. Then it all changed as Juventus ended up drawing 1-1 and Napoli rallied to win 4-2. Now the top two meet and Juventus know a win here will all but guarantee them the title. They are unbeaten in their last 20 league games since a loss to Sampdoria last November and at home are on an 11-game unbeaten run in Serie A winning the last seven and conceding just once. In all, they have won 14, drawn one and lost one at home in the league this season scoring 40 and conceding on just five occasions.

Napoli would love to win this game but avoiding defeat would be a reasonable result too. They had that nervous win over Udinese in midweek but before that had lost ground when being held to a draw at Milan. Away form is a puzzle as they are yet to lose an away league game this season but three consecutive draws are costing them dearly as they chase Juventus. A home defeat to the league leaders didn't help their cause one bit either, They have only conceded one goal in their last seven games and a bet on under 2.5 goals in the game is the one to go for here.
