Juventus hosts Napoli in round 20 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, January 6th at Allianz Stadium (Turin)
Massimiliano Allegri's team is ranked 5th in the Italian championship standings with 34 points. Juventus gained ten victories and four draws and suffered five losses. The Black and Whites, who have dominated Serie A for almost a decade, are far from fighting for the title now. They are 12 points behind the leading Inter, so their top priority will be getting into the Champions League zone. Now the Old Lady is four points behind this coveted zone. The ex-champions of Italy were not distinguished by a bright game, but thanks to their favorite defensive tactics, they regularly earned points in the last rounds. In particular, Juventus scored 13 points in five matches before the break. On December 21, the Black and Whites coped with Cagliari thanks to goals from Moise Kean and Federico Bernardeschi.

Luciano Spalletti's team is in 3rd place in the standings with 39 points after 19 matches. Napoli has 12 victories, three draws, and four defeats. The Neapolitans showed an excellent start to the championship, gaining 32 points in the first 12 rounds. But then Spalletti's men slowed down and lost their leadership. In the last four games, they suffered three defeats and delighted the fans only with an away victory over Milan (0-1). On December 22, the Parthenopaeans got a slap in the face from the championship outsider, Spezia (0-1). The outcome of the match was determined by the mistake of the Napoli defender Juan Jesus, who hit his own goal after a set piece.
The match in Naples on September 11 ended in favor of the home team. The Parthenopaeans won with a score of 2-1. Alvaro Morata scored an early goal for Juventus, while the Neapolitans responded with accurate shots from Matteo Politano and Kalidou Koulibaly after the break. In the upcoming match, the Old Lady has a great chance to take revenge for the defeat in Naples. The Bianconerri have traditionally played well against Napoli at home. In addition, they have consistently scored points at their native stadium, losing only to Atalanta (0-1) in the last four games. The Neapolitans were on the decline at the end of the calendar year, and they have no prerequisites for reversing the situation. Numerous losses are against Napoli. The Parthenopaeans have lost the leading players in each line due to injuries and the coronavirus (except for the goalkeeper), and this may prevent them from taking points from Turin.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win
