Although the title may be drifting out of reach for the hosts, a top-four finish remains well within grasp, while Napoli are still within touching distance of the summit
A classic Serie A rivalry takes centre stage on Sunday evening as Juventus welcome Napoli to the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
With both sides firmly in the top-five and separated by just four points, this heavyweight clash carries major implications in the race for Champions League qualification and lingering Scudetto ambitions.
Napoli arrive in third place with 43 points from 21 matches, while Juventus sit fifth on 39 points.
Although the title may be drifting out of reach for the hosts, a top-four finish remains well within grasp, while Napoli are still within touching distance of the summit.
Juventus enter this contest with mixed but largely positive form.
They have won four of their last six matches across all competitions, scoring 13 goals and conceding just two in that run.
In their last five outings, the Bianconeri have found the net 11 times while conceding only one goal, underlining their defensive solidity.
Despite a surprise 1-0 league defeat at Cagliari last weekend, they responded emphatically with a 2-0 Champions League victory over Benfica.
At home, Juventus remain formidable.
They are unbeaten in 15 matches at the Allianz Stadium, winning nine of those, and have collected 22 of their 39 league points on home soil.
Statistically, Juventus average 2.17 goals scored and just 0.33 conceded per game across their last six fixtures, with 67% of those matches finishing under 2.5 goals. Dusan Vlahovic remains sidelined, alongside Arkadiusz Milik and Daniele Rugani, but Weston McKennie has stepped up, scoring three goals in his last five appearances, all of them at home.
Kenan Yildiz continues to lead the attack with seven league goals and four assists.

Napoli arrive in Turin unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions, although four of those ended in draws.
In their last five games, the reigning champions have scored six goals and conceded five, averaging 1.33 goals for and 0.83 against.
Their recent 1-0 league win over Sassuolo ended a run of three straight league draws, but concerns remain over away form, with just four wins in their last 13 road matches.
In the league table, Napoli boast the stronger overall record, with 13 wins from 21 matches and a +14 goal difference.
However, their away struggles could prove costly here. Injuries have also disrupted Antonio Conte’s plans, with Alex Meret, Amir Rrahmani, Kevin De Bruyne, Zambo- Anguissa, Mateo Politano and David Neres all unavailable.
Scott McTominay has been a standout performer, contributing five goals and three assists in Serie A, while Romelu Lukaku could make his first start of the season after returning from injury.
Historically, this fixture has favoured Juventus in Turin.
Napoli have lost 10 of their last 14 away visits to Juventus, despite winning the reverse fixture 2-1 earlier this season. Overall, Napoli have won four of the last six head-to-head meetings, but only twice at the Allianz Stadium in the last decade.
Key Betting Pointers;
Napoli have been beaten in seven of their previous 13 matches on the road.
Juventus are on a 15-game unbeaten run at home, claiming victory in nine of those fixtures.
Napoli have struggled in Turin, suffering 10 defeats across their last 14 visits to Juventus.
Juventus have recorded seven wins from their most recent 10 matches overall.
While Napoli hold a recent head-to-head edge, their away form and injury list tilt the balance towards the hosts.
Juventus’ home resilience, defensive structure and recent scoring form suggest value in backing a Juventus win, with a narrow margin likely in a tightly contested Serie A showdown.
Prediction: Juventus win
