⚽ Serie A - Round 5 Preview

🏟 Allianz Stadium (Turin)

Juventus’ explosive start to the 2024/25 season was briefly slowed by back-to-back goalless draws in Serie A, but they bounced back midweek with a commanding 3-1 Champions League win over PSV Eindhoven. Juventus have been inconsistent, either scoring exactly three goals in their victories or failing to find the net in their draws. Quick starts have been key for them, as they’ve led 2-0 at halftime in their last four competitive wins. Impressively, Juventus are one of just two teams yet to concede a first-half goal in Serie A this season. That stat may be crucial, given they’ve trailed at halftime in three of their last five meetings with Napoli.

Napoli, under Antonio Conte, return to Turin, where Conte once secured three straight league titles with Juventus between 2012 and 2014. Napoli have responded strongly after an opening-day 3-0 defeat to Hellas Verona, winning three consecutive games, a feat they hadn’t achieved in a single season since February 2023. Their 4-0 victory over Cagliari last weekend was their first away win ‘to nil’ since November 2023, and they’ll aim to build on that by securing back-to-back away wins for the first time in almost a year. However, their recent away form has been shaky, with just three wins in their last 14 road matches, though each of those wins saw them score 4+ goals.

💡 Juventus vs Napoli Prediction

This matchup promises to be a tactical battle, with Juventus looking to continue their dominance at home and Napoli aiming to extend their winning run. While Juventus have been strong defensively in the first half of matches, Napoli’s potent attack could test them. Expect a tightly contested game with both teams finding the net, but Juventus’ home form might give them the edge.
