Seeking to make it three Serie A wins in succession, Napoli will welcome Juventus to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday night.
After enduring a bit of a sticky spell in early November, Antonio Conte’s side have since claimed a pair of eye-catching wins over both Napoli and Roma.
Those victories mean that Napoli are now level on points with AC Milan at the summit of the standings.
The Blues will come into this clash after limping past Cagliari in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday night, progressing courtesy of a 9-8 penalty shootout success.
As for Juventus, they extended their unbeaten run in the Italian top-flight to five matches by coming from behind to defeat Cagliari last weekend.
Luciano Spalletti’s side kept the feelgood factor flowing in midweek by claiming a 2-0 win over Udinese in the Coppa Italia.
How the bookies view it: Blues to bank the points
Napoli – who have won five of their six Serie A home games this season – are 5/4 favourites with bet365.
Juventus are as big as 12/5 on bet365 to take top honours on Sunday night while a share of the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona spoils is trading at 21/10 with the same bookmaker.
Head to head: History favours the hosts
Napoli have fared well in this fixture in recent times, avoiding defeat in seven of their last eight encounters with Juventus, triumphing in five of those contests.
Players to watch: Watch for Scott shot
Having averaged 1.18 shots on target per game in Serie A this season, Scott McTominay looks well worthy of support to work the Juventus goalkeeper at least once on Sunday night at 3/4 with bet365.
Kenan Yildiz scored each of Juventus’ two goals during last weekend’s win over Cagliari, taking his overall tally for the season to five in the process. With that in mind, the Turkish attacking midfielder merits support to hit the target once or more during this contest at 5/6 with bet365.
Predicted line-ups
As was the case in midweek, Alex Meret, Billy Gilmour, Frank Anguissa, Kevin De Bruyne, Miguel Gutierrez and Romelu Lukaku are all expected to miss out for the hosts again on Sunday night.
Dusan Vlahovic is facing a spell on the sidelines after sustaining an adductor injury against Cagliari last weekend. Consequently, the Serbian striker has joined Bremer, Daniele Rugani and Mattia Perin in the Juventus treatment room.
Napoli: Milinkovic-Savic; Beukema, Rrahmani, Buongiorno; Di Lorenzo, Elmas, McTominay, Olivera; Neres, Lang; Hojlund
Juventus: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Kelly, Koopmeiners; Cambiaso, Locatelli, Thuram, Kostic; Conceicao, Yildiz; David
Anything else catch the eye?
Siding with over four cards on the Asian line looks an attractive angle of attack on Sunday night at 17/20 on bet365.
This selection would have proven profitable in three of Napoli's last four matches in Serie A, with last weekend’s showdown with Roma generating a total of seven cards.
The fact that Juventus’ league games this season are producing an average of 4.00 cards per game adds further weight to siding with this value selection.
