Napoli – Juventus

Should we expect an abundance of goals from the central match of the tour?

Juventus got their eighth league wins in a row. The Turin side were able to beat Udinese at the Allianz Stadium. Danilo's 86th-minute goal sealed the three points for Juventus. The Bianconeri's typical flowing play (a sluggish encounter with a last-minute goal) was only partially repeated this time. Massimiliano Allegri's side were more creative and interesting, but not without sin. However, we can only speculate how long Juventus' paradoxical streak will last. After this game, the team will face Atalanta. Napoli are coming off a routine win against Sampdoria. After losing to Inter, the match against Genoa was an easy one for the Partenopeans. The opponents had staffing problems, which is why they could not have hoped for an acceptable result: 0.36:3.42 xG speak for themselves. Despite all the good news, it should be noted that Luciano Spalletti's charges started the year in less than optimum form. But, as always, Victor Osimhen shines. Napoli have lost points in their home games this season only once (a draw against Lecce). That said, the Azzurri have scored 21 goals in eight games at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradonna! Juventus, meanwhile, are not their best away team. The Turiners started with a series of away defeats, but have now won four games in a row against their opponents. It is worth mentioning that Federico Chiesa has become increasingly confident on the pitch. The forward made a number of assists and generally sharpened his team's performance. At the same time, it was announced that his goal would be to take to the pitch from the opening minutes. Chiesa should significantly strengthen the team in attack. As the match against Cremonese showed, Juventus are far from perfect defensively. "The Grigiorossi had at least two clear-cut chances but failed to convert them. Obviously, their performance is superior, which is why their series could come to a head. However, the Turin side should extend their winning streak. At least a goal-scoring streak. This encounter can turn out to be quite productive.
