Juventus Preview – Old Lady to make it five league wins in six?
By their high standards, Juventus have had a poor season up until now. After losing their title to Inter Milan last term, the Old Lady kicked off the 2021-22 campaign with just four wins from their opening 11.
Juventus have shown a steady improvement in recent months, though, winning six of their last eight Serie A games. They have lifted themselves up to fifth as a result but are still miles behind the leaders.
Juventus start 2022 having won four and drawn one of their past five Serie A encounters. A few days before Christmas, goals from Moise Kean and Federico Bernardeschi gave Juve a 2-0 home success over Cagliari. Can they chalk up another routine home victory on Thursday?
Napoli Preview – Can Partenopei respond from shock Spezia loss?
Luciano Spalletti’s Napoli start the New Year in third position in Serie A, behind both Milan clubs. Overall, the side from Naples have claimed 12 wins, suffered four defeats and drawn three times.
Napoli suffered a shock home loss in their last match at the end of 2021, falling to a narrow reverse to struggling Spezia. They also lost their previous home match to Empoli. However, in their last away fixture, an Elif Elmas goal gave them an excellent 1-0 win against AC Milan at the San Siro.
