Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Napoli - Juventus!
- Napoli has the the best goal difference (+17) at home in Serie A
- Juventus has the fewest conceded goals (18) in Serie A
Even though the relationship between Northern and Southern Italy has improved, there's still cultural, political and historical differences. These play out in the football matches between the big teams from each region, such as when Juventus from the north meet Napoli from the south. The sporting rivalry has increased since the 1980s when Napoli became more regular contenders for trophies, led by legend player Diego Maradona. This should be an all-action match!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Juventus, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.
