Italian football is back in action with a massive encounter between two of Serie A's biggest teams this weekend as Juventus lock horns with an impressive Napoli side in a crucial encounter at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Napoli vs Juventus Preview
Juventus are in fifth place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best this season. The Bianconeri were held to a disappointing 0-0 stalemate by Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Napoli, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table and have been in excellent form in recent months. The Neapolitan outfit edged Atalanta to an important 3-2 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
