Juventus v Napoli: Serie A betting preview, predictions, free tips & TV
Cristiano Ronaldo looking to get off the mark
TV: Premier Sports 1, 7.45pm Saturday
Juventus host Napoli as last year's Serie A top two face off at the Allianz Stadium.
Former Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri is now in charge of Juventus but he could be absent from the bench for the second match in a row as he continues his recovery from pneumonia.
Both sides picked up a win in their season-openers but in vastly different circumstances. Juventus closed out a 1-0 victory at Parma while Napoli were involved in a seven-goal thriller at Fiorentina, winning 4-3.
Carlo Ancelotti's side were the beneficiaries of an outstanding individual performance from Lorenzo Insigne as he bagged a brace and provided two assists. Jose Callejon and Dries Mertens also found the net and together with Insigne they form a dangerous triple threat in attack for the visitors.
Juventus have their own attacking riches and haven't drawn a blank at home in the league since April 2018. Talisman Cristiano Ronaldo will be looking to open his account for the season after having a goal chalked off by VAR in Parma.
Napoli will also be confident of finding the target having scored 23 goals in their last nine away Serie A games.
Both sides have scored in 13 of Napoli's last 14 Serie A matches and there wasn't a clean sheet in the league matches between the sides last season.
Recommendation
Both teams to score
2pts 10-11 bet365
