The top two in Serie A will clash on Friday evening, as Napoli look to extend their advantage at the top of the standings. Juventus is the in-form team in the Italian top-flight, and the Old Lady could be poised to make a title challenge if they pick up maximum points on Friday.

Before Betting On Napoli vs Juventus

It has been a fascinating season in Serie A this term, and the title race could be set to make a dramatic twist on Friday evening. Napoli have been the leaders in the Italian top-flight since an early stage, and they currently hold a healthy seven-point advantage over the chasing pack. However, things have dipped slightly since the return to action, as Napoli’s unbeaten record at the start of the season was ended at the hands of Inter Milan.

They showed great character to bounce back to winning ways in their previous fixture, as they recorded a solid 2-0 win on the road against Sampdoria. Victor Osimhen was the star of the show, as he scored the opener, before the points were settled from the spot as Elif Elmas rattled home.

However, there is a growing sense that the Juventus title challenge is gaining momentum. The Old Lady have won their previous five games in Serie A, and have now moved up to second in the standings; their highest position at any point this term. Juventus continued their winning sequence in dramatic fashion over the weekend with a late goal to secure a 1-0 home win against Udinese.

But, Napoli are unbeaten in their previous two league matches against the Old Lady. Meanwhile, Juventus has lost more matches against Napoli than any other side. Napoli has also won their previous three home matches against the Old Lady. They have only managed four in a row on one previous occasions.
