One of the biggest Serie A games of the weekend will see Napoli, who are battling to defend their Serie A title, welcome Juventus, who are still looking to get back their old glory, to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday.
The Partenopei enter this clash in sensational form, currently second on the table after winning three games in a row in the league. Their winning streak was halted by a 1-1 draw to Cagliari in the Coppa Italia, but they went on to win (10-9) on penalties.
The Old Lady, on the other hand, are also riding a wave of positive results, having been unbeaten in their last five games and recently securing three wins in a row. They recorded a solid 2-0 victory against Udinese in the cup competition.

- Three of their last five encounters have been won by the Partenopei.

Correct score prediction: Napoli 2-1 Juventus
Both teams are in good form heading into this game, but we tip Napoli to claim a narrow victory in this encounter. They recently secured a 1-0 win against their bitter rivals, Roma, showing their efficiency in closing out tense matches.
Juventus have also had a decent run of games and will definitely make it difficult for the host.

Player to watch: Kenan Yildiz
Kenan Yildiz has been a key player for Juventus this season and he will be worrisome for Napoli in this tie. The winger is renowned for his exceptional speed, skillful moves and clinical finishing.
This season he is one of the top scorers in the Serie A, having scored four goals and provided three assists. The attacker scored a brace for the Old Lady in their last match and his influence in attack will be a problem for the Partenopei.
