Juventus vs Napoli Preview
Juventus
In a tight start to the Serie A campaign, Juventus are unbeaten after four rounds of fixtures, winning twice and drawing twice.
The main hallmark of Thiago Motta’s men’s start to the Serie A season has been the four straight clean sheets they have kept so far, the only side in Serie A yet to concede a goal. Motta will look to keep this streak going as they host the unpredictable Napoli side at the Allianz Stadium.

After scoring six goals in their opening two matches, Juventus have not scored in their subsequent two. Although they are solid and compact at the back, the Old Lady’s faithful will be concerned with their dynamism and attacking threat as they seek to compete at the top of Serie A again.
Against Roma at home, Juventus had just 49% of the ball, managing a solitary shot on target in the whole 90 minutes. Against Empoli, Juventus had 66% of the ball and managed just three shots on target. Our football predictions analysis show that Thiago Motta needs to find a way for his side to return to winning ways on Saturday.
Napoli
Napoli have also been inconsistent in their opening four matches this season in Serie A. This inconsistency is highlighted by the fact that they opened the season with a 3-0 loss against Hellas Verona and responded with a 3-0 win against Bologna. They have conceded three goals in one match but kept two clean sheets out of four matches.
They have won three times, responding impressively to their opening-day defeat.

Antonio Conte’s men have shown signs of improvement in their subsequent matches. Last time out, in their clash against Cagliari, Napoli won 0-4. Conte’s side had 48% of the ball, 13 shots, and five on target. Converting four out of five shots demonstrates a devastating streak.
Expert soccer predictions on 22Bet show that Napoli’s improving defensive shape will be crucial as they take on Juventus on Saturday. Their attack, which has shown signs of a clinical edge, will be pivotal, especially when playing on the counter.

This is the kind of match that Antonio Conte was brought into Napoli to win. His side have shown signs of adopting some of his tactics and ideas; they have tightened up defensively, are devastating on the counter, and can control the match without possession.
Juventus will have to play on the front foot as the home side, which will play into the hands of Napoli’s tactical approaches.
