Napoli vs Juventus Prediction & Betting tips
The reigning vice-champion SSC Napoli is still completely beside himself. With 27 points behind in first place, the Azzurri are currently in eleventh place in the current Serie A table.
Gennaro Gattuso’s squad has recently lost four home games in a row. A negative series in the Stadio San Paolo, as it last existed in 1998. At that time, the home side could be stopped in the fifth game. If Partenopei lose to Juve, they will face five Serie A home defeats in a row for the first time in their history.
However, because the Bianconeri have a strong run and won all five competitive games in 2020, the odds of bookmakers in Naples against Juventus turn out towards the guests. After all, Juve has also won the last three games against Partenopei and leads clearly in the “head to head” comparison, which is also included in the forecast for Napoli against Juventus.
In the end, of course, the negative series of the Azzurri, which did not get a single counter in Serie A in the new year, characterizes our betting recommendation. So we consider it largely without alternative to play Juventus Tip 2 at Naples, especially since the Vecchia Signora itself is in impressive form.
Naples:
While Serie A is going deeper and deeper, in the event of a home bust against the Bianconeri, a fall up to 15th place would be possible, at least the latest appearance at Coppa Italia went really well.
The golden goal by Lorenzo Insigne in the second minute of the game enabled SSC Napoli to win the semi-final ticket against Lazio Rome, one of the teams of the hour. A great performance, especially since Elseid Hysaj saw the traffic light card in the 19th minute before Lucas Leiva followed six minutes later and the game went on for ten minutes against ten.
The next opponent of Partenopei in the cup will be either Inter Milan or Fiorentina on February 12, 2020. Before one can dream of a possible entry into the grand finale, it is now all the more important to stop the downward slide in Serie A and to score again in league operations.
The Azzurri has not yet succeeded in doing exactly this in three attempts in 2020. Most recently, Gennaro Gattuso’s team lost 0-2 to Fiorentina at home last Saturday. Only 24 points from 20 games mark the worst season in a long time for the team that has mostly been the number one competitor of Juventus Turin in the struggle for the Scudetto in the declining Milan and Roman clubs.
A whopping 27 points difference now lie between the once so big rivals, which is why it is not surprising that Napoli against Juventus is listed as an outsider in the bookmaker odds despite the home advantage. If there is any home advantage. After all, the Partenopei have lost their last four home games in a row at Stadio San Paolo and are only 16th in the Serie A home table.
In view of the Azzurri’s hospital, which is still filled to bursting, it does not appear to be overly likely that the home record will improve against Italy’s series and record champions.
So Gennaro Gattuso still has to do without seven injured players, who, to make matters worse, by no means come from the second garrison, but with the exception of maybe Amin Younes, they would all be set if they could play.
Juventus:
After Inter Milan went into the short winter break as the league leader, all of Italy was probably looking forward to an exciting further course of the season after the eight championships that went to Bianconeri in series.
In just three games, the Vecchia Signora set itself apart from the revitalized rival and led Serie A with four points after the recent two Nerazzurri draws.
So everything speaks for Scudetto number nine in a row these days, which would then be the 36th championship title for Madama, who also moved into the semifinals of Coppa Italia during the week and celebrated a 3-1 home win over AS Roma.
Juventus is dancing at all three weddings under the former Naples coach Maurizio Sarri, for whom the return to Stadio San Paolo is likely to be as explosive as for striker star Gonzalo Higuaín and is again really big in business.
In the Coppa Italia there is either a Turin city derby or a currently standing AC Milan. Either way, Juve would be the big favorite to enter the final. In addition, there is the lucky lot for the round of 16 of the Champions League. In the form of Olympique Lyon, the Bianconeri drew the group runners-up that all group winners secretly wished for.
After it did not look like it for half a year with the regained strength of Inter Milan, everything is currently being arranged for further titles to find their way into the packed clubhouse of Fidanzata d’Italia in summer 2020.
The good away record of the footballers from Piedmont also speaks for the fact that tip 2 goes up against Juventus in Naples. Juve drove 23 of 30 possible points away in Serie A, although the Bianconeri also had to compensate for a few painful injuries caused by injuries, all of which affect the defensive.
In addition to Kaitän Giorgio Chiellini, Mattia De Sciglio and Merih Demiral are injured. In addition, there is the former German international Sami Khedira, who will return after his knee surgery in March at the earliest.
