Napoli vs Juventus Preview
Napoli
Napoli are back as Serie A leaders after reclaiming first place. Antonio Conte’s men won their last six encounters, including a 3-2 victory against Atalanta. Mateo Retegui scored first, but Matteo Politano equalized. Scott McTominay upped it 2-1, with Atalanta then leveling the score again through Ademola. Romelu Lukaku netted the winning goal in the 78th minute.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for €70 million after being a key player in their 2022-2023 season. So, Conte is seeking replacement options. Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho is priced at €55 million, and Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund is also under consideration. A move for Garnacho has been ruled out by the club, as Napoli deem the price to be too high.

Juventus
Juventus have yet to lose a match in Serie A, but that doesn’t stop them from ranking 5th. In 21 encounters, they won 8 and drew 13, meaning more than 60% of their games ended in ties. These stats have attracted the curiosity of fans online, as the team drew again this week against Brugge (0-0). It’s a similar story in the Champions League, as Juventus won three, lost one, and drew three.
After head coach Thiago Motta said that “5 attackers aren’t enough”, the club started looking for possible additions. Paris Saint-Germain striker Kolo Muani is the likeliest option on loan, as the Frenchman has struggled to integrate into Luis Enrique’s plan.

While both parties have already agreed to a deal, the bureaucracy has blocked the signing until now. FIFA’s rules state that a club cannot have more than 6 loaned players in the season. PSG had already reached the limit until the loaned Juan Bernat rescinded his contract with the club to allow them to loan Kolo Muani out. An official announcement is expected soon.
Motta has struggled to find his ideal attackers, as he doesn’t have a reliable goalscorer. The closest is Dušan Vlahović, who remains inconsistent in front of the net.

The hosts last defeated Juventus in March 2024. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored the first goal shortly before the half-time break (42’), but Federico Chiesa equalised with 9 minutes to go. However, Napoli had the last word as substitute Giacomo Raspadori scored in the 88th minute. They dominated the game but struggled to score as striker Victor Osimhen fought to impose himself.
The guests last defeated the home squad in a 1-0 victory, with defender Federico Gatti scoring the only goal of the match in the 51st minute. This event was also primarily controlled by Napoli, but their front three strained to coordinate and failed to score.
Bet hereNapoli vs Juventus Player Focus
With Khvicha gone to PSG, the first player to come to mind is Scott McTominay. He arrived after a subpar season at Manchester United, but Antonio Conte maximised his goal-scoring potential.
He often lands strikes in the penalty box, similar to how he did with the Red Devils. The difference is that his defensive duties aren’t as heavy now with Napoli. Instead, the club focuses on his offensive attributes. In 18 matches, he scored five goals and registered two assists.
GOOOOAL!
NAPOLI in vantaggio: destro vincente di SCOTT MCTOMINAY I!! 🔥#AtalantaNapoli 1-2 pic.twitter.com/m83ThFgKY7— Official SSC Napoli (@sscnapoli) January 18, 2025
For Juventus, Manuel Locatelli has undoubtedly been the team’s most consistent player. He struggled under Mauro Allegri but has become the chief at the heart of the midfield since Motta arrived. His accurate passing and tactical soundness make him an essential player on the offense, orchestrating the team’s structure.
Napoli vs Juventus Analysis
Napoli are one of the best offensive teams but might need some time to find a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. He was one of the most important attackers on the offense, and they haven’t signed anyone yet.
They will also face a team without a reliable striker, which means the hosts won’t be able to expand without overstretching.
Napoli are likely to build through Scott McTominay and Matteo Politano, who’ve been important in the final third. The squad have often dominated this tie in recent years, and it’s unlikely to change for this match.
Napoli vs Juventus Prediction
- Football pick: Napoli to win
- Odds: 2.13 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Napoli 2-0 Juventus
Napoli’s stadium, recently renamed after Maradona, is known for having one of the best atmospheres in the country. The match also represents the cultural clash between North and South Italy, making it emotionally intense.
The home side have won all of their previous six encounters, which means they’ll come into the event with confidence, especially after reclaiming the first place in Serie A.
Juventus last won a Serie A game last year, a 2-1 victory over Monza. They’re inconsistent, meaning they’re capable of the best and worst. They are unlikely to take the three points.
Napoli vs Juventus Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Romelu Lukaku to score
- Odds: 3 (22Bet)
Lukaku is one of Conte’s most important players, scoring 8 goals in 18 Serie A matches. With McTominay and Politano, he can expect service and chances to score, having struggled to finish in the past. Lukaku has scored or assisted in the previous three games, which is why he’s our pick.
