Juventus will host the defending champions Napoli in a heavyweight Serie A showdown at the Allianz Stadium this Sunday, with both sides desperate to secure three points in the title race.
Since Luciano Spalletti took charge, Juventus have suffered just two defeats, the most recent being a 1-0 loss to Cagliari at the weekend.
The setback, however, was quickly forgotten as the Bianconeri returned to winning ways with a convincing 2-0 UEFA Champions League victory over Benfica midweek.
Sitting three points outside the Serie A top four, Juventus will be confident of keeping pace, particularly given their formidable home form.
They have not lost at the Allianz Stadium since March and have claimed two wins in their last three home league encounters against current top-four sides.
Napoli, meanwhile, come into this round unbeaten in nine matches across all competitions, but a string of draws has hampered their progress domestically and in Europe.
A 1-1 draw at ten-man Copenhagen in midweek left them outside the UCL play-off spots, while last weekend’s narrow 1-0 win over Sassuolo still leaves them six points behind the league leaders.
The Partenopei have won just four of their last 13 competitive matches on the road and have already lost four Serie A away fixtures this season, double the number they suffered throughout last season.

Player to watch: Kenan Yildiz
Kenan Yildiz is the most influential player for the visiting side and will be the heartbeat of their attack. The forward has been in good form this season, scoring seven goals and providing four assists.
He possesses a great ability to create chances against defensive opposition and will be crucial if the home team are to get a win against last season’s Serie A winners in this encounter.
