Napoli have not conceded in any of their last five played now in Serie A. They have scored an average of two goals per game this season. When they met Juventus earlier this season they just couldn’t cope and lost 3-1 in Turin.

Both teams have scored in just 38% of Napoli’s home games. Napoli have scored the first goal in all but four of their home fixtures this season. Juventus are the only ones who beat them in home form and defensive record this season.
