This is arguably the biggest game of the season in the Italian top flight as challengers, Napoli head to the Turin Stadium to play current leaders and defending champions Juventus in a game that should confirm who could win the Serie A this season. A Juventus win here would set Max Allegri and his players up for a seventh straight Scudetto title while losing here would throw the title race open again with just 5 games left to play.
Juventus suffered a minor upset in midweek when they drew 1-1 at Crotone, that result cut the gap between them and their visitors to just 4 points and they would be looking to take it back to seven in this game. The defending champions have not lost a home game in the league since 2015 and that makes it incredibly difficult for Napoli to get the win here.
Napoli would also head into this game with some confidence as they have not lost an away league game in the last 18 months, winning 12 and drawing 4 of those matches and they would surely be up for the fight here too.
Napoli have conceded just once on their last five visits to teams inside the top four, keeping a clean sheet in more than 60% of their away games this season. They are also used to seeing low scoring games on their trips with most of their away games ending in under 2.5 goals. Juve on their own have conceded only five goals at home this season, with Milan the only team to score at the Turin Stadium in their last 9 home league games.
