Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Sparkles will be flying when Napoli and Juventus square off against each other in the Serie A derby on Sunday evening. The Partenopei were on the verge of beating Cagliari in Sardinia, but the Rossoblu eventually scored a late goal to save point. Napoli aim to keep their Champions League hopes alive and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Juve. Belgium midfielder Cyril Ngonge should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, showed character in their last league match, with the team beating Frosinone 3-2 thanks to Daniele Rugani’s late goal. As Juventus are determined to stay in the Scudetto race with Inter, we are going to bet on both teams to score. All Weston McKennie, Adrien Rabiot, Danilo, Moise Kean, and Mattia De Sciglio are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
