Our prediction for this Serie A match:
A spot in the Champions League will be at stake when Juventus and Napoli go head to head at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday evening. The Bianconeri are having a season to forget, with the team failing to defend Scudetto. Juve’s new goal is to book a place in the Champions League, and we are positive that Andrea Pirlo’s men will go all guns blazing at Napoli. Both Bonucci and Demiral have been tested positive for coronavirus, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Neapolitans, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the Serie A. Genaro Gattuso’s men survived Crotone (4-3) at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Juventus. Anyhow, given Napoli’s attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. The good news for the visitors is that key defender Kalidou Koulibaly is back from suspension.
