Betting on Juventus
Juventus could cap off a very positive week with a home win against Napoli, the current league leader which is going through a rough patch.
Massimiliano Allegri’s team not only secured a spot in the Europa League semifinals on Thursday, defeating Sporting Lisbon 2-1 on aggregate, but also regained the 15 points that were deducted back in January due to a player transfer controversy.
Thanks to the recovered points, the Vecchia Signora will face Napoli while positioned in third place with 59 points, just two behind second-placed Lazio. However, Juventus must not let its guard down as the decision is still being appealed, and the team will likely lose 5 to 10 points in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, these points come in handy for a team that had distanced itself from Atalanta in Conference League by five points after suffering two losses in a row. Now, the team finds itself in Champions League places.
Another piece of good news for the Juventus team is that it will be playing this match at home, where it has been performing at its best. The team lost only one match and earned 36 out of 45 possible points. Additionally, it has scored 34 out of its 47 total goals at home, while its opponents has only managed to score 12 goals against them.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Danilo, Alex Sandro, Federico Gatti; Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic, Juan Cuadrado, Federico Chiesa; Angel Di Maria, Dusan Vlahovic.
Betting on S.S.C. Napoli
Although it is only a matter of weeks before Napoli is crowned as the Serie A champion, the team is heading into this match while going through its worst moment of the season. Despite this, the team will try to turn things around to get even closer to the title.
The Gli Azzurri team was recently eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Champions League by Milan. Nonetheless, and despite winning only one of its last three matches, the team still is the leader of the tournament with 75 points, 14 more than Lazio, its closest pursuer.
Undoubtedly, Napoli has been the best team in the current Italian championship, displaying an impressive offensive performance. In fact, the team leads the league with 66 goals scored, being the only team to have surpassed the five dozen mark. Similarly, its defense has also performed incredibly, allowing only 21 goals, the second-lowest number in the league.
Playing away, Luciano Spalletti’s team has also not disappointed. Although this Sunday it will face the best home team, Napoli is the best club when playing away, having only stumbled once in 15 matches and winning 40 out of 45 possible points.
No one has scored more goals away than Napoli’s 33, while Lazio is the only team that has conceded fewer goals on the road than Napoli’s eight.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Alex Meret; Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Kim Min-Jae, Juan Jesus, Mario Rui; Frank Zambo Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, Elif Elmas; Matteo Politano, Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
