Juventus take on the visitors Napoli in the round 15 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, December 8th at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
Juventus have a chance to finally return to the top spot. The Old Lady dominated in the last decade, stamping their authority with championships. However, there was a decline that did not end even after Allegri returned as the coach in the penultimate season, resulting in a 4th-place finish. The rise began in 2022/2023 but was marred by a penalty for financial violations. Nevertheless, even after such a setback, the Zebras managed to maintain a good level. Without the burden of European competitions, the schedule for the grand club became relatively convenient and straightforward. As a result, they are holding on as contenders for the Scudetto. They were right behind the leader, Inter. By the way, they ended November in Turin with a 1-1 draw against Inter. This score was almost repeated on the field of Monza, a traditionally uncomfortable opponent. However, conceding a late goal, the Bianconeri managed to secure a 2-1 victory through Gatti's goal.

Napoli managed to win the championship title quite unexpectedly. It was their first title since the legendary Maradona's time. Interestingly, this happened after a major squad overhaul, including the arrival of Quaresma. On the other hand, by spring, the team largely lost form. One can understand Spalletti, who decided to leave at the peak as a winner. His successor, Rudi Garcia, predictably could not prevent the new team from slipping. Although the situation cannot be described as disastrous or crisis-ridden, De Laurentiis spoke quite early about a possible resignation. In November, during the international break, he removed the Frenchman. The last straws were only a draw with the underdog, Berlin's Union, in the Champions League and a defeat to Empoli in Serie A. In the end, Mazzarri returned to Naples, where he was once quite successful. He started well in the new tenure with an away victory over Atalanta. However, an unmotivated Real in Madrid defeated the Italians 4-2. After that, Inter sealed a crushing 3-0 victory.
The last time The Old Lady won was in April two seasons ago. Since then, they have only achieved one draw, suffering three losses. Perhaps Allegri won't achieve the same rout as Nerazzurri, but they should win in their hometown. Betting on the home team with a 0 handicap seems secure.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win with 0.0 handicap.
