Juventus have struggled to establish a consistent rhythm under Luciano Spalletti, with their latest setback coming in a 2-0 defeat at Genoa in midweek.
That result marked the Old Lady’s second defeat in their last three Serie A outings, having also lost 3-0 at home to Lazio on October 18.
The Turin club’s 14 points from their opening nine league fixtures represent their second-lowest return at this stage since the 2016-17 campaign.
Juventus’ attacking production has been particularly concerning, as the Bianconeri have struggled to turn possession into meaningful opportunities, ranking 18th in Serie A for expected goals from open play after nine rounds.
Napoli, meanwhile, travel north after putting together a convincing sequence of results, with their 4-1 victory over Monza in midweek extending their unbeaten run to three matches following earlier wins over Bodo/Glimt and Roma.
Massimiliano Allegri's side have rediscovered their attacking confidence during that period, scoring 11 goals across those three fixtures after managing fewer goals (10) in their previous eight matches combined.
There are still concerns surrounding Napoli's performances away from home, however, as their victory against Monza ended a four-match winless sequence on the road, meaning another difficult assignment awaits against a Juventus side that traditionally enjoy playing in Turin.
The visitors also suffered a 3-0 defeat in their last visit to Juventus, meaning they have failed to score in back-to-back away meetings with the Old Lady following a goalless draw in September 2024.

Whispers predicts: Juventus 1-2 Napoli
Napoli or draw (X2) at 1.67 (2/3) is an appealing selection given the visitors' recent improvement and Juventus' difficulties in turning their home performances into victories.
More goals in the second half is also worth considering, as the Partenopei's recent attacking performances suggest they have the quality to make an impact after the interval, while Juventus could be forced to take greater risks if they find themselves chasing the result.
Both teams to score – Yes at 1.80 (4/5) offers another interesting option, with Napoli's attacking improvement providing a strong foundation for an away goal and Juventus possessing enough individual quality to threaten despite their recent scoring difficulties.
A 2-1 victory for Napoli looks a reasonable outcome at 12.00 (11/1), with the visitors' current attacking confidence potentially proving decisive against a Juventus side still searching for consistency.
> Napoli or draw (X2) at 1.67 (2/3) | Likelihood: Probable
