Juventus vs Napoli head-to-head record
Matches between these two sides have been decided on the flip a coin recently, with Juventus having won their last three in a row against Napoli in Turin heading into this midweek.
Napoli edged their meeting in the Coppa Italia final in June 2020 on penalties, and they downed the Bianconeri in the reverse fixture this season back in September thanks to a late Koulibaly headed winner.
Juventus vs Napoli score prediction
Injuries have undermined Napoli's Scudetto push after a promising start to the campaign, while Juventus are beginning to show signs of recovery after a wretched opening few months of the season.
Home advantage should play a significant part this midweek and Juve will be hoping to make it a scrappy affair in midfield.
Expect a low scoring contest, with Allegri's men to edge it.
Prediction: Juventus 1-0 Napoli
