Head-to-Head
Serie A stats show that Napoli are unbeaten in the last four meetings of this fixture. Last season, the Partenopei completed the season sweep of Juventus. Napoli picked up a highly-impressive 5-1 win at home as Victor Osimhen scored twice. In the reverse fixture, Giacomo Raspadori scored a stoppage time winner for Napoli in a 1-0 victory. That win at the Allianz Stadium was Napoli’s first since 2018.
Juventus on Excellent Run of Form
Juventus pulled off a dramatic 2-1 victory at Monza on Matchday 14. The Bianconeri won an early penalty but Michele Di Gregorio’s double save denied Dusan Vlahovic a goal. On the ensuing corner, Adrien Rabiot scored for Juventus and he’s been a key player for them this season. Monza managed an equalizer in the first minute of stoppage time but Juve pushed for a winner.
Rabiot was involved again as he sent in a low cross that Federico Gatti shot home. Gatti made up for an earlier point blank miss and handed Juve all three points. Juventus haven’t been scoring many goals but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been getting results.
They’re just two points behind leadersSerie A standings. Max Allegri tends to get flak for his defensive style of play but Juventus look like they’ll very much be in the title race this season.
Currently, the Juventus vs Napoli soccer betting odds price the hosts as +145 favorites for Friday’s match. Allegri recently got back defenders Alex Sandro and Danilo from suspension, which is a boost for an already strong defense. Bettors should note Nicolo Fagioli and Paul Pogba are serving long-term suspensions and Tim Weah and Mattia De Sciglio are injured.
Napoli Outclassed by Inter Milan
Napoli had some decent chances when they took on Inter Milan on Sunday. However, Inter’s Yann Sommer made some superb saves and the defending champions couldn’t keep the Nerazzurri at bay on the other end. Napoli fell 3-0 and dropped out of the Serie A top four for the time being.
It should take time for the Partenopei to find their footing under Walter Mazzari but they’re in the middle of a run of difficult matches. Plus, they’ve already fallen 11 points behind Inter in the table. Napoli have won just two of their last five Serie A games and have failed to score in two of their last three. Bizarrely, they’re an unbeaten 5-2-0 on the road but just 2-1-4 at home this season.
For Friday’s match, the Serie A odds list Napoli as +190 underdogs. If they’re able to pull off a victory it could jumpstart Mazzari’s tenure. So far, Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia haven’t been matching their production from last season but they are still Napoli’s most dangerous players. Expect Napoli’s top two left backs, Mario Rui and Mathias Olivera, to miss out on the match at Juventus due to injury.
Match Analysis & Odds
Although Napoli have lost just one of the last six meetings, they have struggled as of late. They’ve won just one of their last five matches, in all competitions, and have conceded in each of their last five. Here, the Juventus vs Napoli soccer betting odds give the Partenopei a reasonable shot to win. They’re +190 moneyline underdogs and Napoli pk sits at +110.
Juventus are an unbeaten 5-2-0 at home in Serie A this season and are +145 favorites. A couple of weekends ago, Juventus managed a 1-1 draw at the Allianz with Inter Milan. Bettors can take Juve pk at -130 and it’s not a terrible pick for this match.
A draw wouldn’t be a big surprise either and one displays +235 odds. Over 2, 2.5 goals are priced at -125 odds but Juventus have conceded just nine goals in 14 matches this season. Note that Napoli have gotten on the scoresheet in each of the last six meetings.
