Napoli hosts Juventus in round 3 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, September 11th at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)
The change of the coaching staff is a common occurrence in football. Napoli was no exception. Gennaro Gattuso is gone. His post was taken by Luciano Spalletti. The Blues had a great summer camp, winning all six friendly matches. The winning streak continued in the official games. At the start of the 2021/2022 season, the Neapolitans are among the leaders in the Serie A standings. Thus, the Parthenopeans beat Venezia and Genoa in the first rounds with a total score of 4-1. Therefore, the unbeaten run of the team from Naples (taking into account all the competitions) has been going on since the end of the previous season, and today it has 17 games.

Juventus has a similar situation. Inexperienced Andrea Pirlo left the club due to unsatisfactory results. The Scudetto was won by Inter, and the Old Lady made it to the TOP-4 with great difficulties. The place of the Italian was taken by Massimiliano Allegri, who had previously spent several successful years at the head of the Black-and-Whites. The main star of the Zebras also decided to change the club registration. The management decided not to interfere with the transfer. Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in the summer. The start of the 2021/2022 season turned out to be a failure. At first, the Bianconeri missed the victory over Udinese (2-2), although they were winning with a 2-goal difference after the first half. And then Juventus unexpectedly lost to Empoli at home (0-1). It looks like the Old Lady will have a hard time in the current season.
Napoli is a strong and unyielding opponent. The Neapolitans have always created a lot of problems for the Zebras. Now the Blues are in excellent shape, show high-quality attacking football, and are located in a higher part of the standings after two victories in a row. As for Juventus, one gets the impression that the club is in crisis. Ronaldo is gone, there are no top transfers, and the bosses have brought back an experienced coach. The Black-and-Whites are going through hard times. Allegri will have to work hard to get the team back on track. The bookmakers consider the hosts to be a minor favorite of the confrontation. In any case, we believe that the hosts will not give up without a fight.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with +0.5 handicap
