Napoli vs Juventus Prediction & Pick

Serie A fans are in for a treat on Friday. A win by Napoli would put manager Luciano Spalletti's squad a full 10 points above any other team in the league and make it nearly impossible to fall apart down the stretch. A win by Juv entus would certainly make the race for the top spot much more intense, though.

These teams have been on the same trajectory for months now. Napoli is has suffered one loss in its last 13 Serie A games and Juventus has suffered just one loss in its last 10 Serie A games. With the pressure to win high and the talents on both sides even, I expect a draw at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Final Score Prediction:'Napoli: 1 | Juventus: 1

Napoli vs Juventus Best Bet

Backing a draw at +240 odds is a great option, but I find myself liking the total more. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Juventus' last five league matches as well as in three of Napoli's last five league matches. I expect a similar result to the Jan. 6, 2022 match between these teams (1-1 draw ).
